Give a new research request its own dataset
When a request needs a separate place for collected items, use its Jira issue to create an Apify dataset.
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 Dataset
Tool to create a new dataset. use when you need to initialize or retrieve a dataset by name.
Why this helps
Research data can become hard to find when unrelated collection efforts share the same destination.
- Set up a dataset for a distinct collection effort.
- Reduce manual initialization before a collection run.
- Keep the dataset purpose tied to the issue request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe when a new request needs its own dataset and how to name it from issue context.
- 4Pick the Jira New Issue trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real issue that clearly needs a separate dataset.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow collect data too?
No. It creates a dataset. Describe the intended dataset name or naming approach in your instruction.
Should every new issue create a dataset?
Use this for requests that need a distinct dataset. State that condition in the instruction so routine issues do not initialize one.
