Review Jira issue updates with less guesswork
Get quick definitions for unfamiliar words when an existing issue changes.
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
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
Important wording changes can be easy to miss when updates introduce new terminology into a busy issue queue.
- Make changed issue text easier to scan.
- Reduce interruptions to search for definitions during review.
- Give reviewers concise context for unfamiliar terms.

- 1Connect Jira and Dictionary API once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation and name it for reviewing issue language.
- 3Tell Notis to inspect updated issue text, look up unfamiliar terms, and summarize their definitions with the issue update.
- 4Choose the Jira Updated Issue trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real issue update containing an unfamiliar term.
Questions about this workflow
Does this trigger on Jira comments?
No. The Updated Issue event covers issue changes and does not fire on comment activity.
Can I ask Notis to focus on newly introduced words?
You can describe that outcome in your instruction. The trigger provides an updated issue, but does not provide comment activity or a separate word-change event.
