Keep Jira context beside the Box document

Notis can summarize a new issue in a Box file comment, giving document collaborators useful context without another message thread.

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 comment

Adds a comment by the user to a specific file, or as a reply to an other comment.

Why this helps

Issue context and document discussions split across tools, making it harder to understand why a file matters.

  • Keep a short issue summary beside the relevant document.
  • Reduce context switching between project work and files.
  • Help Box collaborators understand related Jira work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and Box once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis which Box file relates to the issue and what concise context to include in a comment.
  • 4Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real issue and verify the comment appears on the intended Box file.

Questions about this workflow

Does this add a comment to Jira?

No. It uses Box's Create comment action to add a comment to a specified Box file.

How does Notis know which Box file to comment on?

Provide a Box link or a clear identification rule in your instruction using available issue details.

TriggerInstant

Add initial classifications

When an enterprise does not yet have any classifications, this api call initializes the classification template with an initial set of classifications. if an enterprise already has a classification, the template will already exist and instead an api call should be made to add additional classifications.

ActionInstant

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.
