Notis

Keep the right people informed on member issues

Add an appropriate stakeholder to Jira issue updates when their awareness helps move a member request along.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Add Watcher to Issue

Adds a user to an issue's watcher list by account id.

Why this helps

Important updates can be missed when the teammate who needs visibility is not watching the issue.

  • Give relevant stakeholders visibility into issue updates.
  • Avoid broad notification lists when only specific people need to follow along.
  • Connect member activity to the Jira issue where the work is tracked.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Brilliant Directories and Jira once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or by telling Notis whose visibility should change.
  • 3In one instruction, explain how to match the Jira issue and identify a stakeholder by Jira account id.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real event and confirm the intended person is watching.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis get the Jira account id?

Use an account id available in the event or retrieve the needed identity using Jira's user search. Define a reliable match such as email or display name.

Should every stakeholder become a watcher?

No. Specify when a person's ongoing visibility is useful and avoid adding watchers for events that do not need their attention.
