Notis

Move approved Cloudlayer work to its next Jira state

When a document records the approval your process requires, Notis can move the related Jira issue to its next state during a scheduled review.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Transition Issue

Transitions a jira issue to a different workflow state, with support for transition name lookup and user assignment by email.

Why this helps

Approved work can wait in the wrong Jira status while someone manually checks documents and updates tickets.

  • Reflect recorded approvals in Jira status.
  • Reduce routine status-chasing across tools.
  • Make the approval criteria explicit in the automation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Cloudlayer and Jira once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe the approval evidence, matching Jira issue, and target workflow state.
  • 3Choose the notis_cron trigger and its schedule, then choose where run reports go.
  • 4Test with one real approved item and verify the Jira transition.

Questions about this workflow

What if the requested transition is unavailable?

Jira only allows available workflow transitions for the issue. Review the run report and confirm the target state is reachable.

How does Notis match the approval to an issue?

Include a reliable Jira issue key or another agreed identifier in the approval record or provide matching context in the instruction.
