Make a Discord reaction a Jira follow-up
Mark a message for action with a reaction and let Notis carry its context into Jira.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
Action
Create Issue
Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.
Why this helps
A message marked for follow-up can still disappear in the flow of a busy channel.
- Turn a simple reaction into a trackable task.
- Keep the reacted-to message available as task context.
- Give the team a lightweight way to flag work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Discord and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which reaction should signal follow-up and to create a Jira task with the original message context.
- 4Pick Message Reaction Added as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test by adding that reaction to one real Discord message.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use a specific emoji as the signal?
Yes. Name the reaction in your instruction and explain what it should mean, such as a request to create a follow-up task.
Will the task include the original message?
Ask Notis to carry the message content and channel context into the Jira task.
