Combine a new Jira issue brief with reference PDFs
Keep an issue brief and its supplied PDF references together in one document.
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

- Append additional PDF files to a generated issue document.
- Keep reference pages with the issue context in one output.
- Make handoffs simpler when source material lives in PDFs.
