Auto-create sprints from calendar planning events

When you block time for sprint planning, Notis creates the sprint in Jira automatically with matching dates and a default goal—saving you the setup steps.

Trigger

Event Created

Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.

Action

Create Sprint

Creates a new sprint on a jira board with optional start/end dates and goal.

Why this helps

You schedule sprint planning meetings but have to manually create the sprint in Jira afterward, or forget and leave it until the last minute.

  • Sprints are created instantly when you schedule planning—zero setup delay
  • Sprint dates always match your calendar planning block
  • One less manual step between planning and execution

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Calendar and Jira to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: "When a calendar event with 'Sprint Planning' is created, create a new Jira sprint."
  • 3Tell Notis to use the event time to set sprint start/end dates.
  • 4Optionally provide a default sprint goal or naming convention.
  • 5Test by creating a 'Sprint Planning' calendar event and verifying the Jira sprint appears.

Questions about this workflow

What board does the sprint go on?

Notis can create it on a default board, or you can specify per automation (e.g., 'Create on the Product board').

Can I set a custom sprint goal?

Yes. You can tell Notis to extract goals from the event description or use a template.

What if a sprint already exists for those dates?

Notis will skip creation and log it. You can configure it to update the existing sprint instead.
