Start a focused ActiveTrail group from Jira work
When new work needs its own audience, let a Jira issue prompt creation of an ActiveTrail group.
Trigger
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Action
Create a New Group
Tool to create a new group in ActiveTrail. Use when you need to add a new group to organize and segment contacts.
Why this helps
Setting up a communication group can be forgotten while the team is busy triaging new work.
- Start a communication segment alongside new work.
- Avoid a separate manual group-creation step.
- Use issue context to guide the group name in your instruction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and ActiveTrail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe when new work needs a group and how to name it from available issue context.
- 4Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real Jira issue.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a group for every issue?
The New Issue event fires for issues in the configured project. Describe in your instruction when the issue context calls for a new group.
Can the action add contacts to the new group too?
This action creates a new group. Adding a member requires a separate supported action and workflow.
