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

Why this helps
Someone who needs updates after a meeting may not be watching the related ticket.
- Include a specified stakeholder in issue update notifications.
- Tie meeting participation to the Jira work they need to follow.
- Reduce manual watcher updates after coordination.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cal and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to add the specified Jira user as a watcher on the identified issue when the request indicates they need updates.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the watcher was added.
Questions about this workflow
Can it add someone just because they attended a meeting?
Use the instruction to add a watcher only when the request identifies that person as needing issue updates.
What user information is needed?
The action uses a Jira account id. The request must identify the intended user sufficiently for Jira user lookup.
Does this assign the person the work?
No. It adds them as a watcher so they can receive issue update notifications.
