Keep Affinda document settings aligned with Jira requests
Put a document settings request in its Jira issue and let Notis pass the requested rename, expiry, or storage change to Affinda.
Trigger
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
Action
Update Document
Tool to update specific fields of a document. use when you need to rename, reassign, or adjust expiry and storage settings after document creation.
Why this helps
Document housekeeping requests can be easy to miss when the request lives in Jira and the settings live somewhere else.
- Keep document requests attached to their work item
- Reduce missed rename and expiry requests
- Apply explicit storage changes without repeated app switching
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Affinda once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to update the Affinda document identified in the issue using its explicit rename, expiry, or storage request.
- 4Pick the Jira Updated Issue trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Jira issue containing an Affinda document identifier and a specific settings change.
Questions about this workflow
What details should the Jira issue include?
Include the Affinda document identifier and the specific setting to change, such as a new name or expiry.
Can this update any document setting?
Use it for fields supported by Affinda's Update Document action, such as name, expiry, and storage settings.
Will an issue comment start the automation?
No. The Jira Updated Issue event does not fire on comment activity. Put the request in an issue field that is updated.
