Bulk Create Jira Issues from Webhooks

One webhook payload, up to 50 new Jira tasks. Batch creation without script writing.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Bulk Create Issues

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

Why this helps

Migrating tasks from another tool or importing a batch of work items requires custom tooling or manual entry, slowing project setup.

  • Create up to 50 issues from one webhook
  • Automate bulk migrations without code
  • Faster project setup
  • Reduce manual data entry
  • Flexible payload structure support

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notis and Jira.
  • 2Create a webhook automation: 'When you receive a webhook with a list of tasks, create a Jira issue for each one.'
  • 3Notis generates a webhook URL and tells you the expected JSON structure.
  • 4Send a test payload with 5-10 sample tasks, verify they create correctly, then scale to your full batch.

Questions about this workflow

What JSON structure should the webhook payload have?

Notis is flexible. You can send an array of objects, nested structures, or CSV data in the payload. Tell Notis your format and it adapts.

Can I set different issue types or priorities based on the payload?

Yes. For example: 'If priority is high, create a Bug; if priority is low, create a Task.'

What if some issues in the batch are invalid?

Notis validates each issue before creating it. Invalid ones are skipped and reported so you can fix them and retry.

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.
