Start a CircleCI build when Jira work is ready for QA
Move a Jira issue to your QA-ready status and let Notis start the CircleCI pipeline you specify.
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
Trigger Pipeline
Tool to trigger a new pipeline for the specified project. use when you need to start a build on a branch or tag programmatically.
Why this helps
A ticket can be ready for testing while the person who needs to start its build is busy or focused elsewhere.
- Reduce the handoff between issue tracking and testing.
- Start the requested pipeline as soon as a qualifying issue changes.
- Keep the build instruction in plain language.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Describe which Jira status means ready for QA and which CircleCI project and branch to run.
- 4Pick Jira Updated Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real Jira issue that reaches the QA-ready status.
Questions about this workflow
Will this start a pipeline for every Jira update?
Tell Notis to start a pipeline only when the issue reaches your QA-ready status. The Jira event fires on issue changes, and Notis uses your instruction to decide whether to act.
Do I need to configure field mappings?
No. Describe the status and CircleCI project and branch in your instruction. Notis is prompt-based, not a field mapper.
