Get repository context for every new Jira issue
Start new work with a clear view of where it may touch the codebase. Devin can answer a focused repository question when a Jira issue arrives.
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
Ask question
Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response. Args: repoName: GitHub repository or list of repositories (max 10) in owner/repo format question: The question to ask about the repository
Why this helps
A fresh ticket can mean a context switch into unfamiliar code before anyone knows where to begin.
- Surface likely code areas sooner
- Reduce manual repository searches
- Give the assignee a useful starting point
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Devin MCP once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction, such as asking Devin to investigate the repository context for each new issue.
- 4Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real issue and confirm the repository question has enough context.
Questions about this workflow
What does this automation do?
It uses Devin MCP to ask a repository question when Jira creates an issue, then reports the response through Notis.
Does it know which repository the issue belongs to?
The action needs a GitHub repository name in owner/repo format. Include how to identify the repository in your instruction or supply it when needed.
Will it update the Jira issue?
No. The available Devin actions answer questions or read repository documentation; this workflow reports findings without editing Jira.
