Notis

Auto-create Jira versions from calendar milestones

Release dates live on your calendar. Instead of manually creating Jira versions, let Notis read your milestone events and create versions automatically.

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 Version

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

Why this helps

You set a release date on your calendar but forget (or delay) creating the corresponding Jira version, fragmenting release planning.

  • Jira versions are always synchronized with your calendar release dates
  • No more 'which version is this for?' confusion
  • Release planning happens in both tools automatically

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Calendar and Jira to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: "When a calendar event with 'Release' or 'Milestone' is created, create a Jira version."
  • 3Tell Notis which project to create the version in (or extract from event details).
  • 4Use the event title as the version name and the event date as the release date.
  • 5Test by creating a 'Release 2.0' calendar event and verifying the Jira version appears.

Questions about this workflow

What if the version already exists?

Notis will skip creation and log it. You can configure it to update the release date if the event changes.

Can I extract the version number from the event title?

Yes. If your event is titled '2025-Q1 Release', Notis can extract 'Q1' or other patterns to name the version.

What if the release date moves?

When the calendar event is updated, Notis can update the Jira version release date automatically.
