Provision managed databases from Jira requests

Give database requests a clear path from issue to provisioning.

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 Database Cluster

Tool to create a new managed database cluster. use when you need to provision a database cluster with name, engine, version, region, size, and number of nodes.

Why this helps

Database requests often require copying engine, version, region, size, and node count into a separate console.

  • Reduce repeated entry of database configuration.
  • Keep the originating request available for follow-up.
  • Route provisioning reports to a shared team channel.

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 provide its name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to use new database requests to provision a cluster only when engine, version, region, size, and node count are present.
  • 4Pick the Jira New Issue trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real issue containing the complete database request.

Questions about this workflow

Which database details are needed?

The request should specify the cluster name, engine, version, region, size, and number of nodes.

Can Notis determine valid database options?

The target app provides a list of database options. The prompt can ask Notis to consult available options when needed, while the issue supplies the requested configuration.
