Update DigitalOcean DNS from Jira change requests

Keep DNS change requests reviewable in Jira and carry approved details to the domain record.

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

Update Domain Record

Tool to update an existing dns record for a domain. use when you need to modify any valid attribute of a record after confirming its record id.

Why this helps

DNS updates can be missed when a change is recorded in Jira but still needs a separate manual console step.

  • Use the updated Jira issue as the change context.
  • Avoid manually re-entering stated record changes.
  • Keep a run report with the team handling the request.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and supply its name and prompt.
  • 3Describe how Notis should apply an updated issue's specified changes to an existing domain record, requiring the domain name and record id.
  • 4Pick the Jira Updated Issue trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real update request that identifies the record and requested change.

Questions about this workflow

What must the Jira update identify?

It should provide the domain name, record id, and the requested attribute changes.

Does this trigger run for comment edits?

The Jira Updated Issue trigger does not fire on comment activity. It fires when an issue field is changed in the configured project.
