Save a starter guide for every Jira project
Give collaborators a short guide to the project setup and the questions that still need answers.
Trigger
New Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
Action
Upload File
Uploads a file to a specified path in the user's dropbox, with options for handling existing files.
Why this helps
People joining a project may lack a quick reference for its purpose and working context.
- Create a quick reference from available project details.
- Flag missing context before it becomes assumed fact.
- Keep project guidance in a shared Dropbox location.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Dropbox once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for project starter guides.
- 3Tell Notis to write a concise starter guide from the new project's available details and upload it to the Dropbox path you specify.
- 4Choose the Jira New Project trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real project event and review the uploaded guide.
Questions about this workflow
Can the guide include team conventions?
Include conventions in the instruction or provide them in source material Notis can access.
What happens if project details are sparse?
Instruct Notis to state only what is available and list missing information as questions.

Permanently deletes the file or folder at the specified path in dropbox. use when you need to remove a specific file or folder. requires the `files.content.write` scope.
