Notis

Auto-update Jira priority when events are rescheduled

When you move a meeting earlier or later, the urgency changes. Notis updates the related Jira issue priority to match, so your team always works on what's actually urgent.

Trigger

Event Updated

Triggers when an existing Google Calendar event is modified. Returns the event ID, change type, and the specific fields that changed with their previous and new values.

Action

Edit Issue

Updates an existing jira issue with field values and operations. supports direct field parameters (summary, description, assignee, priority, etc.) that are merged with the fields parameter. direct parameters take precedence.

Why this helps

You move a meeting up to tomorrow (making it suddenly urgent), but the related Jira issue still shows normal priority, misleading the team.

  • Jira priorities automatically reflect calendar urgency—meetings that move up become high priority
  • Team works on what's actually urgent, not what you forget to flag manually
  • Reduces miscommunication about what matters most right now

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Calendar and Jira to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: "When a calendar event is rescheduled to within 3 days, bump the related Jira issue to high priority."
  • 3Tell Notis the threshold (e.g., meetings within 3 days = high priority, within 1 day = critical).
  • 4Test by rescheduling a calendar event closer to today and verifying the Jira issue priority increases.
  • 5Optional: create multiple automations for different priority thresholds.

Questions about this workflow

What if the event is rescheduled further out?

Notis can lower the priority accordingly. You specify the rule (e.g., 'If rescheduled beyond 2 weeks, drop to low priority').

Can I use other calendar signals for priority (attendee count, duration, keywords)?

Yes. You can set up rules like 'CEO attending = critical priority' or 'Meeting over 2 hours = high priority.'

What if the issue's priority was manually set?

Notis respects manual overrides by default but can be configured to override them if the calendar signal is strong.
