Create a clear intake brief for every new Jira issue
Capture the issue details in a shareable brief as soon as work enters Jira.
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
Generate documents from template
Tool to generate document(s) from a template by merging JSON data or uploading a data file. Use when you need to programmatically produce one or more documents and receive metadata including a download URL.
Why this helps
New issues often arrive without a consistent summary, leaving founders to gather context before deciding what happens next.
- Create a repeatable intake document from issue details returned by Jira.
- Reduce time spent rewriting ticket context for teammates or stakeholders.
- Keep new work easier to review and prioritize.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Docugenerate once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by naming it and describing the intake brief outcome in one instruction.
- 3Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Jira issue and review the generated document.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run for every Jira project?
No. The New Issue trigger fires only for issues created in the Jira project you configure.
What information can the brief include?
Notis can use issue data returned by Jira. If a template needs information Jira does not provide, include it in your instruction or supply it separately.
