Automatically Create Jira Projects for New Initiatives
You add a new sheet to your planning spreadsheet to kick off a new initiative, and Notis immediately creates a corresponding Jira project so the team has a place to track the work from day one—no manual setup needed.
Trigger
New Sheet Added in Google Spreadsheet
Polling trigger that detects when a new sheet is added to a Google Spreadsheet.
Action
Create Project
Creates a new jira project with required lead, template, and type configuration.
Why this helps
You create a new sheet to plan a new initiative, but someone has to manually create a Jira project, wasting time before work can start.
- New initiatives tracked immediately
- No setup bottleneck delays work
- Reduces project creation friction
- Templates ensure consistency

- 5Test by creating a new sheet and confirming a Jira project appears
Questions about this workflow
What project template will be used?
Specify it in your automation prompt—e.g., 'use a Scrum template' or 'use a Kanban board'.
Who will be the project lead?
You can specify it in the prompt, or Notis defaults to the Jira user who owns the automation.
Can I customize project settings?
Notis creates the project with standard settings. You can manually refine access, workflows, and issue types after creation.
