Notis

Estimate the effort behind every new Jira issue

Get a quick, repeatable estimate with the reasoning beside it, so new work is easier to size and discuss.

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

Execute Code

Execute python code in a sandbox and return any result, stdout, stderr, and error. use /home/user folder to write/read files. try to not use plt.show() as the code is executed remotely. use files for image/chart output instead.

Why this helps

New requests arrive faster than the team can size them, and effort estimates are easy to lose in a busy queue.

  • Apply your sizing rules consistently to incoming issues.
  • See the assumptions behind each estimate.
  • Reduce the time spent switching between Jira and a separate analysis tool.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and Codeinterpreter once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named Estimate Jira issue effort, in the portal or from any Notis channel.
  • 3Tell Notis to run Python on each new issue and estimate effort using your supplied sizing rules, reporting the assumptions and result.
  • 4Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real issue and review the estimate and assumptions.

Questions about this workflow

Does this know our team's estimation scale?

Only if you supply the scale and rules in the instruction. The workflow reports its assumptions so you can review them.

Will it update the Jira issue?

No. The configured action runs Python in Codeinterpreter and returns a report; it does not write back to Jira.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Jira to Codeinterpreter. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Jira triggers

Codeinterpreter actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Create Sandbox

Create a sandbox to execute python code in a jupyter notebook cell. this is useful for agents to communicate, execute code, see output, read files, write files, etc. it's like you own personal computer, but in the cloud. use /home/user folder to write/read files.

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Get File

Get a file from the sandbox and returns the file. the files should be read from /home/user folder.

ActionInstant

New Project

Triggered when a new project is added in Jira

TriggerInstant

Run Terminal Command

Run a command in the terminal and returns the stdout, stderr, and error code. use /home/user folder to write/read files.

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.

TriggerInstant

Upload File

Upload a file to the sandbox environment. the files should be uploaded to the /home/user folder.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Jira and Codeinterpreter, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
