Add release stakeholders as Jira watchers
Keep the people responsible for release follow-up connected to the Jira issues they need to watch.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add Watcher to Issue
Adds a user to an issue's watcher list by account id.
Why this helps
Stakeholders miss issue updates because they were never added to the Jira tickets they are tracking.
- Keep named stakeholders connected to release issues.
- Use account IDs resolvable from Jira user data.
- Reduce manual watcher setup across a defined set of tickets.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira once in Notis and provide criteria for finding relevant release issues.
- 2Create an automation and identify the stakeholders to add as watchers.
- 3Choose a recurring schedule and report destination.
- 4Test with one real issue and confirm the intended users were added.
- 5Review the report for users or issues that could not be resolved.
Questions about this workflow
Does a scheduled run know who should watch each issue?
Provide the stakeholder names or account identifiers and the rule for which issues they should watch. Notis should not infer people without that context.
Can it find Jira account IDs?
The Jira action requires an account ID. The automation needs access to Jira user information to resolve the specified person.
