Get a visual preview of documents on new Jira issues
See what a newly attached document contains without opening every file. Notis can ask Api2pdf for a quick thumbnail when a Jira issue is created.
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
LibreOffice Thumbnail
Tool to generate a thumbnail image of a document using libreoffice. use when you need a quick visual preview of a pdf or office file's first page.
Why this helps
Document attachments on new issues can sit unread because opening each one interrupts triage.
- Make attached documents easier to scan during issue triage
- Reduce repeated file opening and context switching
- Keep the preview step tied to issue creation

- 1Connect Jira and Api2pdf once in the Notis portal.

- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a thumbnail for supported document attachments on each new issue.

- 5Test with a real new issue that has a PDF or office document attached.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a thumbnail for every Jira attachment?
Ask Notis to process PDF or office document attachments. The workflow depends on the attachment being available to the automation and supported by Api2pdf.
Will the thumbnail show every page?
The listed LibreOffice Thumbnail action generates a quick visual preview of the document's first page.
Can this run for issues created anywhere in Jira?
The New Issue trigger fires only for issues created in the Jira project configured for that event.
