Assign Jira failure follow-up to its owner
When a failure event includes a clear owner, let Notis assign its related Jira issue and report the result.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Assign Issue
Assigns a jira issue to a user, default assignee, or unassigns; supports email/name lookup.
Why this helps
Failure follow-up sits unassigned while someone works out who should take the next step.
- Reduce time spent routing build failures manually.
- Use an owner identified by the event or a rule you provide.
- Make unresolvable ownership visible in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Buildkite and Jira once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe how an identified owner maps to a Jira assignee.
- 3Include the Jira issue key and owner identifier in the webhook request.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and report destination.
- 5Test with one real event and verify the assignee is the intended Jira user.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis choose an owner without a rule?
No. Provide an owner in the request or a clear assignment rule and ensure the user can be resolved in Jira.
What happens if the assignee cannot be found?
The run should report the unresolved owner for follow-up. It should not guess or assign the issue to an unrelated user.
