Keep Jira issues updated with Buildkite failures
When a build fails for a tracked issue, add the available failure details and build link as a Jira comment.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Comment
Adds a comment using atlassian document format (adf) for rich text to an existing jira issue.
Why this helps
People tracking a bug have to leave Jira, find the matching build, and manually summarize the latest failure.
- Keep investigation context next to the Jira issue.
- Reduce tab switching to find the latest build result.
- Make the build link easy for teammates to open.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Buildkite and Jira once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe the comment you want Notis to add.
- 3Tell Notis how to identify the related Jira issue from information supplied in the webhook.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and a destination for run reports.
- 5Test with one real failure and confirm the comment appears on the intended issue.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which Jira issue to comment on?
Include the issue key or another reliable identifier in the webhook request, and instruct Notis to use it. If the request has no issue reference, the workflow cannot safely choose the issue.
Does the comment support rich text?
The Jira action adds a comment using Atlassian document format. Notis can compose the content from the failure details supplied or retrieved.
