Create a Jira sprint for Buildkite release follow-up
Turn a release milestone into an organized sprint for the next set of engineering follow-ups.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Sprint
Creates a new sprint on a jira board with optional start/end dates and goal.
Why this helps
Release follow-up can be scattered across notes, with no clear place to organize the next round of work.
- Give release follow-up a dedicated planning container.
- Use the board, goal, and dates supplied in the milestone request.
- Reduce manual setup after a release milestone.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Buildkite and Jira once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe when a release milestone should create a sprint.
- 3Provide the Jira board and any desired sprint dates or goal in the webhook request.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and a destination for run reports.
- 5Test with one real milestone and confirm the sprint appears on the intended board.
Questions about this workflow
Can Buildkite identify the Jira board automatically?
Only if the webhook data or your instruction provides a reliable board reference. Include the intended board and sprint details; do not rely on an unstated default.
Does this move issues into the sprint?
No. Creating a sprint does not move issues into it. Use the separate Jira action for moving issues if that outcome is needed.
