Track Decisions as Jira Issues with Full Rationale
You maintain a decision log in a spreadsheet, but those decisions stay isolated from your work tracking. Notis converts each decision into a Jira issue with your reasoning preserved, so the team understands the 'why' behind technical choices and can reference them later.
Trigger
New Rows in Google Sheet
Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.
Action
Add Comment
Adds a comment using atlassian document format (adf) for rich text to an existing jira issue.
Why this helps
Decisions get logged in a shared spreadsheet, but the team doesn't see them in Jira, so decisions are forgotten or redebated when new people join.
- Decisions tracked in work system
- Rationale preserved for future reference
- Reduces decision redebate
- New team members see decision history
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect integrations
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new decision is logged in my decision spreadsheet, create a Jira issue that includes the decision summary and the reasoning as a comment'
- 3Select 'New Rows in Google Sheet' as your trigger
- 4Specify which columns hold the decision title, rationale, date, and decision maker
- 5Test by adding a decision row and reviewing the Jira issue
Questions about this workflow
Should decisions be separate issues or comments on feature issues?
Notis can do either. Separate issues are easier to track and reference; comments tie decisions to work. Tell us your preference.
Can I link this decision to related issues?
Yes. Include related issue keys in your spreadsheet row, and Notis will link them when creating the decision issue.
What if a decision gets reversed?
Create a follow-up decision row, and Notis creates a new issue or comment showing the reversal and new reasoning.
