Ways Notis can move work from Jira to Canvas
Create a Canvas course for each Jira project
When a Jira project is added, create a Canvas course using the course details you provide in the automation prompt.
Turn Jira issues into Canvas assignments
Create a Canvas assignment when a Jira issue is created, using course, instructions, and due date details supplied in your prompt.
Keep a Canvas assignment aligned with Jira updates
When a Jira issue changes, update the corresponding Canvas assignment with the changes and matching rules you specify.
Post Jira progress updates to a Canvas discussion
Share selected Jira issue changes as entries in a specified Canvas discussion topic.
Create a Canvas discussion for a new Jira initiative
Create a Canvas discussion topic for qualifying Jira issues that represent initiatives, using the course and topic details you supply.
Add Jira milestones to the Canvas calendar
Create a Canvas calendar event for a qualifying Jira issue when its date and Canvas context are available or provided.
Send a Canvas message when a Jira issue is blocked
When a Jira issue changes, send a Canvas conversation about qualifying blockers to the recipients you specify.
Create a Canvas module for a new Jira initiative
Create a course module when a qualifying Jira issue is created, using course and module details from your instruction.
Adjust Canvas assignment dates after a Jira scope change
Create a targeted Canvas assignment override when a Jira issue changes and your instruction identifies the assignment, target, and dates.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Jira to Canvas. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Jira triggers
Canvas actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create account notification
Creates a global notification within a canvas account, ensuring `end at` is after `start at` and any specified `notification roles` are valid.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create appointment group
Creates a new appointment group in canvas for schedulable time slots within specified course or group contexts.
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Create an assignment
Creates a new assignment within a specified course in canvas lms.
New Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
Create assignment override
Creates an assignment override to adjust due/unlock/lock dates for an assignment in a course, targeting specific students (requires `title`), a group, or a course section; at least one target (`student ids`, `group id`, or `course section id`) is required.
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.
Create Calendar Event
Creates a calendar event with options for recurrence (finite `rrule` series only), section-specific timings, and blackout dates within a specified context.
Create communication channel
Creates a new communication channel (e.g., email, sms, push) for an existing canvas user to receive notifications.
Create content share
Shares a canvas content item to specified users, if the sender has necessary permissions and receiver ids are valid.
Create conversation
Use to send messages in canvas by creating a new conversation or adding to an existing one; an existing conversation with the same recipients (and matching scope/filter, if specified) may be reused unless `force new` is true.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
You · in the Notis Builder
NEW“When a row gets added to the Q4 OKRs Notion database and the status is Blocked, send a Telegram message to the owner with a summary of what's blocking, and ping me if there's no reply within 24 hours.”
Notis built this automation:
