Create and link Jira issues from calendar events

When you create a calendar event for roadmap work, Notis creates the Jira issue and links it to your epic automatically—no manual hierarchy management needed.

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

Link Issues

Links two jira issues using a specified link type with optional comment.

Why this helps

You create Jira issues from calendar events but forget to link them to the epic, or don't link them correctly, fragmenting your roadmap view.

  • Your epic view always reflects the actual work happening
  • No manual linking—Notis matches issues to epics by keywords or context
  • Roadmap reporting is accurate without constant manual updates

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Calendar and Jira to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: "When a new calendar event is created with 'Roadmap' in the title, create a Jira issue and link it to the Roadmap epic."
  • 3Tell Notis how to identify the right epic (by name keyword, or by the event location/organizer).
  • 4Test by creating a calendar event with relevant keywords and verifying the Jira issue is created and linked.
  • 5Optional: create multiple automations for different epic categories.

Questions about this workflow

What if the epic doesn't exist?

Notis can create it on demand or flag it for you to create manually. You decide the behavior.

Can I link to subtasks or multiple epics?

Yes. Notis can link to subtasks, parent issues, or even multiple related issues using different link types.

What if I change the epic later?

You can manually relink in Jira, or set up a separate automation to move issues between epics based on calendar changes.
