Start code review from a new Jira issue

Turn a tracked Jira request into a Bitbucket pull request when its source branch is ready.

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 pull request

Creates a new pull request in a specified bitbucket repository, ensuring the source branch exists and is distinct from the (optional) destination branch.

Why this helps

Teams can lose time translating approved Jira work into the first code review step.

  • Reduce manual handoff from planning to review
  • Put Jira context into the review request
  • Create a consistent starting point for code review

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and Bitbucket once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to create a pull request for a new Jira issue using an already available source branch and suitable destination branch.
  • 4Pick the Jira New Issue trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real issue and an existing source branch.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a source branch too?

No. This action creates a pull request and requires that the source branch already exists.

What if the branch or destination is unknown?

Supply a reliable branch rule in the instruction. If Notis cannot determine a valid existing source branch, the pull request cannot be created.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Jira to Bitbucket. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Jira triggers

Bitbucket actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Create a branch

Creates a new branch in a bitbucket repository from a target commit hash; the branch name must be unique, adhere to bitbucket's naming conventions, and not include the 'refs/heads/' prefix.

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

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.

ActionInstant

Create snippet comment

Posts a new top-level comment or a threaded reply to an existing comment on a specified bitbucket snippet.
