Notis

Put useful Box references in the assignee's hands

When a new issue needs existing documentation, Notis can share a relevant Box file or folder with its assignee so they can get moving sooner.

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 collaboration

Adds a collaboration for a single user or a single group to a file or folder. collaborations can be created using email address, user ids, or a group ids. if a collaboration is being created with a group, access to this endpoint is dependent on the group's ability to be invited. if collaboration is in `pending` status, the following fields are redacted: - `login` and `name` are hidden if a collaboration was created using `user id`, - `name` is hidden if a collaboration was created using `login`.

Why this helps

People often start Jira work without knowing which existing Box documents explain the background.

  • Make reference material easier to access at kickoff.
  • Reduce repeated requests for links and permissions.
  • Help assignees begin with more context.

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 reference item to share and with whom, using the new issue details to identify the assignee when available.
  • 4Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real issue and confirm the intended Box collaboration is created.

Questions about this workflow

Does Jira's new issue event always include an assignee?

Not necessarily. If the issue has no assignee, tell Notis how to handle it, such as reporting that the share could not be targeted.

Can Notis identify the right reference file automatically?

Only if your instruction provides a reliable way to identify it from available issue details, or names a fixed Box item.

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.
