Keep Jira issues updated with CircleCI failures
Give open Jira work a clearer CI trail by adding relevant CircleCI failure context where a matching issue is clear.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add Comment
Adds a comment using atlassian document format (adf) for rich text to an existing jira issue.
Why this helps
Build failures and issue investigation often drift apart, leaving people to chase context across tools.
- Keep investigation context alongside the Jira issue.
- Reduce manual status updates after a failure.
- Avoid adding comments when a matching issue is uncertain.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and Jira once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review recent failed CircleCI runs and comment on a clearly related Jira issue with the available details.
- 4Pick a recurring Notis schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real failure and verify the comment is relevant.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis find the related Jira issue?
Ask it to use identifiers or other matching context available in the CircleCI run and Jira issue data. If it cannot establish a clear match, instruct it to report the run without commenting.
Can this add a comment for every failure?
You can describe which failures matter in the automation instruction. The schedule determines when Notis reviews CircleCI; it does not add event filters.
