Open BotStar chat for Jira issue update follow-up
Make the chat window visible when an issue change calls for a live conversation.
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
Livechat open
Tool to show the live chat window. use after the widget has been bootstrapped with botstarapi('boot') to programmatically open the chat window (mode must be 'livechat' or 'popup').
Why this helps
A changed issue can need quick discussion, but getting to the right chat window adds another context switch.
- Bring the supported BotStar chat window forward after an issue change.
- Reduce manual widget navigation during follow-up.
- Use the event to prompt a conversation when it is useful.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and BotStar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis with a name that describes the chat follow-up.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis when an issue update should open the BotStar chat window.
- 4Pick the Jira Updated Issue trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real issue update after the widget is bootstrapped in livechat or popup mode.
Questions about this workflow
