Automatically Create Release Versions in Jira on Schedule

Release versions are created and dated automatically. Your roadmap stays current without admin overhead.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Create Version

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

Why this helps

Creating release versions in Jira is manual busywork that gets forgotten. Your roadmap falls behind, and release planning becomes reactive.

  • Automatic version creation on your release cadence
  • Roadmap stays current without manual intervention
  • Clear release timeline in Jira
  • Faster release planning
  • Consistent version naming and dating

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notis and Jira.
  • 2Create a scheduled automation: 'Every [week/month], create a new Jira version named [pattern] with a release date [X days from now].'
  • 3Notis auto-generates names like 'v1.2.3' or 'Release 2025-07-15' based on your pattern.
  • 4Test by running once manually to verify the version is created with the right name and date.

Questions about this workflow

Can I use a custom naming pattern for versions?

Yes. For example: 'v[YEAR].[MONTH].[INCREMENT]' creates v2025.07.1. You define the pattern.

How far out should I set the release date?

You specify it. For example: 'Create the version with a release date 30 days from today' or 'the last Friday of the month.'

Can I add version descriptions or goals automatically?

Yes. You can include a static description or pull it from a linked Google Docs file that outlines the release goals.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Jira. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Google Drive triggers

Jira actions

Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.

TriggerPolling

Add Attachment

Uploads and attaches a file to a jira issue.

ActionInstant

File Created

Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Add Comment

Adds a comment using atlassian document format (adf) for rich text to an existing jira issue.

ActionInstant

File Deleted or Trashed

Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.

TriggerPolling

Add Watcher to Issue

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

ActionInstant

File Shared (Permissions Added)

Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.

TriggerPolling

Assign Issue

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

ActionInstant

File Updated

Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Bulk Create Issues

Creates multiple jira issues (up to 50 per call) with full feature support including markdown, assignee resolution, and priority handling.

ActionInstant

Google Drive Changes

Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.

TriggerPolling

Create Issue

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

ActionInstant

New File Matching Query

Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.

TriggerPolling

Link Issues

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

ActionInstant

Create Project

Creates a new jira project with required lead, template, and type configuration.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Not just Google Drive and Jira. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
