Track new Jira work in Datadog

Give new project work a place on your Datadog timeline so it is easier to investigate what changed around an incident.

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 event

Creates a new event in datadog. events are useful for tracking deployments, outages, configuration changes, and other important occurrences.

Why this helps

Issue context and operational timelines live in separate tools, making it harder to connect work with service behavior.

  • Keep issue creation visible alongside operational events.
  • Reduce manual timeline updates during incident reviews.
  • Make it easier to spot work that coincides with a service change.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and Datadog once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Datadog event describing each new Jira issue.
  • 4Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real issue.
