Set the GitHub issue assignee when a Jira ticket is created
New work should reach its owner without a second click. When a Jira ticket lands with an assignee, Notis puts that same person on the GitHub issue so the work is claimed the moment it exists.
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
Add assignees to an issue
Adds or removes assignees for a github issue; changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Why this helps
New GitHub issues sit unassigned while the owner is already recorded in Jira, so work stalls before anyone picks it up.
- Work reaches its owner the instant the ticket is created
- No unassigned GitHub issues quietly waiting to be noticed
- One less step in the gap between planning and code
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2In the portal, open Automations and click New Automation.
- 3Write the plain-language prompt: when a new Jira issue is created with an owner, assign the matching GitHub issue to that person.
- 4Choose the New Issue trigger from Jira and set a channel for run notifications.
- 5Create a test ticket with an owner and check the GitHub issue is assigned.
Questions about this workflow
What if the Jira ticket has no owner?
Notis simply leaves the GitHub issue as is when there is no owner to carry over.
Do I configure which field holds the owner?
No. You describe the outcome in words and Notis interprets it. There is no field configuration.
Where do I see that it worked?
Notis posts a short run report in the channel you selected during setup.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Jira to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Jira triggers
GitHub actions
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
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.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
