Get Weekly Repository Health Summaries in Jira

Every Monday morning, Notis creates a health-check task in Jira: stale branches, pending PRs, anything needing attention.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Create Issue

Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.

Why this helps

Repository hygiene tasks get deprioritized. Stale branches, old draft PRs, and closed-but-unaddressed issues accumulate. You don't know if your repo is healthy or cluttered until someone complains or performance degrades.

  • Monitor repository health without manual checks
  • Identify stale work that needs closure
  • Catch branch protection issues early
  • Keep codebases clean and organized

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'Every Monday at 10 AM, create a Jira task reviewing repository health—stale branches, draft PRs over a week old, and unresolved closed issues.'
  • 3Set trigger to 'Notis Cron' and action to 'Create Issue'.
  • 4Configure thresholds for what counts as 'stale' (e.g., branches older than 30 days).
  • 5Run manually to see the format and verify the task includes useful details.

Questions about this workflow

How do you define 'stale'?

Typically: branches not updated in 30+ days, draft PRs open for a week+, closed issues unaddressed for 2+ weeks.

Can I exclude certain branches from stale checks?

Yes—protect branches like main or staging from being flagged.

Do I need to manually clean up after this?

Yes, the task flags issues for review. You can create separate automations for auto-deletion if needed.

Branch Changed

Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.

TriggerPolling

Add Comment

Adds a user to an issue's watcher list by account id.

ActionInstant

Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed

Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.

TriggerPolling

Assigns a jira issue to a user, default assignee, or unassigns; supports email/name lookup.

ActionInstant

Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed

Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.

TriggerPolling
