Keep Dropbox work files aligned with Jira changes
When issue details change, move a known Dropbox item to the folder that matches its new stage or destination.
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.

Why this helps
Files can remain in outdated folders after the related work changes direction or status.
- Keep a specified file or folder aligned with changing work.
- Reduce manual file cleanup after an issue update.
- Use a prompt to apply your own routing rule.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Dropbox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for issue file routing.
- 3Tell Notis which Dropbox item to move and describe the Jira update conditions and destination path using information available to the automation.
- 4Choose the Jira Updated Issue trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real update and confirm the intended item moved.
Questions about this workflow
Can this move any file associated with the Jira issue automatically?
Only if the association and Dropbox path are available to Notis or specified in your instruction. Provide the item identification rule.
Does the trigger fire when someone comments?
No. The Updated Issue event excludes comment activity.
