Create Breathe HR employee records from Jira onboarding issues
Capture a new starter once in Jira and have Notis create their Breathe HR employee record when the required information is present.
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 Employee
Tool to create a new employee in BreatheHR. Use when you need to add a new employee record with their personal information, contact details, and employment information. Required fields are first_name, last_name, email, and company_join_date.
Why this helps
Re-entering new starter details across Jira and Breathe HR adds admin work and makes onboarding easier to delay.
- Reduce duplicate entry for new starter details.
- Keep employee record creation tied to the Jira onboarding request.
- Surface missing required details before attempting to create a record.

- 4Pick the Jira New Issue trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real onboarding issue that contains the required details.
Questions about this workflow
What details must the Jira issue contain?
Breathe HR requires first name, last name, email, and company join date to create an employee record. Include these details in the issue or its description.
Will every Jira issue create an employee?
The trigger only fires for new issues in the Jira project you configure. Instruct Notis to act only on onboarding requests.
