Make new Jira issues easier to understand
Give teammates a quick definition when a new issue uses a term they may not know.
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
Get Word Definition V2
Tool to retrieve definitions, phonetics, origin, and meanings of a given word using freedictionaryapi v2. use when you need comprehensive lexical data for a specific word.
Why this helps
Unfamiliar jargon can slow down triage and force teammates to leave Jira to look up a word.
- Reduce context switching while triaging new issues.
- Help teammates interpret issue descriptions consistently.
- Return definitions and related lexical details for selected terms.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Dictionary API once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to identify unfamiliar terms in each new issue, look them up, and share concise definitions.
- 4Choose the Jira New Issue trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real issue that contains a term worth explaining.
Questions about this workflow
Does this look up every word in an issue?
No. Ask Notis to focus on unfamiliar or domain-specific terms so the result stays useful and concise.
What starts the automation?
