Automatically Create Jira Versions for Planned Releases
You plan releases in a spreadsheet with version numbers, dates, and scope. Notis watches for new releases and creates Jira versions automatically, so every planned release has a tracked home in Jira without manual versioning work.
Trigger
Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
Action
Create Version
Creates a new version for releases or milestones in a jira project.
Why this helps
You plan releases in a spreadsheet, but Jira versions require manual creation, so planned releases don't have a home in Jira until someone remembers to create them.
- Every planned release is tracked
- No manual version creation overhead
- Release dates visible in Jira
- Scope and issues can be linked to versions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect integrations
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new version or release is added to my roadmap spreadsheet, create a Jira version with that name and target date'
- 3Select 'Aggregate Metric Changed' to monitor new versions being added
- 4Notis will map version names and dates from your spreadsheet columns
- 5Test by adding a new release row and confirming Jira version creation
Questions about this workflow
Should versions be auto-released or stay as 'unreleased'?
Notis creates them as unreleased by default. You can manually release them or ask Notis to release when the due date passes.
Can I include release notes in the version?
Yes. Add a description column to your spreadsheet with release notes, and Notis includes them in the Jira version.
How do I associate issues with the version?
In your automation, ask Notis to link issues to the version—'assign open bugs to this version' or 'link issues labeled release-1.5'.
