Navigate Issue Dependencies: Auto-Linked Shortcuts
Issue A blocks Issue B, but there's no connection in Google Drive between them. Notis creates shortcuts so you see the full dependency map without jumping between windows.
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
Create Shortcut to File/Folder
Tool to create a shortcut to a file or folder in google drive. use when you need to link to an existing drive item from another location without duplicating it.
Why this helps
You discover an issue is blocked by another one, but there's no link in Drive. You hunt through Jira to find the blocking issue. Time wasted, context lost.
- See issue relationships without leaving Google Drive
- Reduce context-switching between Jira and Drive
- Build a navigable map of dependencies
- Spot bottlenecks and critical path faster
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with 'New Issue' as the trigger.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When a new Jira issue is created that mentions dependencies or blocked-by relationships, create Google Drive shortcuts in the current issue folder that link to the related issue folders.'
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by creating a Jira issue with dependencies and confirming shortcuts appear.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which issues are dependencies?
Check the issue description or linked issues field in Jira. Include details like 'PROJ-456 blocks this' or Jira link fields. Notis extracts those relationships.
Will shortcuts be created for issues that don't have Drive folders yet?
Notis will create shortcuts to issues that have folders. For issues without folders, you can ask Notis to create them first.
Can I organize shortcuts in a specific way?
Yes. Ask Notis to create a 'Dependencies' subfolder and organize shortcuts by type: 'Blockers', 'Blocked-By', 'Related Work,' etc.
