Automatically Create Jira Versions from Git Tags

A new version tag is pushed to GitHub. Notis instantly creates a matching Jira version so release planning stays organized.

Trigger

New Repository Tag Created

Triggers when a new tag is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors the repository's tags and fires an event for each newly created tag. The payload includes the tag name, the commit SHA and URL it points to, and archive download URLs.

Action

Create Version

Creates a new version for releases or milestones in a jira project.

Why this helps

Git tags mark releases, but corresponding Jira versions are created manually or forgotten. Release tracking is scattered—some information lives in Git, other data in Jira, with no synchronization between them.

  • Automate Jira version creation from Git tags
  • Keep version tracking synchronized
  • Build a single source of truth for releases
  • Eliminate manual version management

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Jira to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a new Git tag is created in GitHub, create a matching version in Jira.'
  • 3Set trigger to 'New Repository Tag Created' and action to 'Create Version'.
  • 4Specify the Jira project where versions should be created.
  • 5Test by creating a new Git tag and verifying the Jira version appears.

Questions about this workflow

What if the tag doesn't follow semantic versioning?

Notis uses the tag name as-is for the version. Configure in your prompt if you want filtering or transformation.

Can I skip certain tags?

Yes—filter by tag prefix (e.g., only 'v*' tags) in your plain-language prompt.

Are version dates set automatically?

Use the tag creation date. You can configure in your prompt to set release dates manually or automatically.
