Surface Hidden Context: Auto-Find Related Docs
A new Jira issue arrives on a topic you've worked before, but you don't remember the old docs exist. Notis searches Drive and surfaces them automatically.
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
Find file
Tool to list or search for files and folders in google drive. use when you need to find specific files based on query criteria or list contents of a drive/folder.
Why this helps
New issue comes in. You start fresh without realizing similar work exists in Drive. You duplicate effort or reinvent solutions. Weeks later, someone finds the old docs.
- Reuse existing documentation and decisions
- Avoid reinventing solutions
- Build on prior knowledge faster
- Reduce rework and duplicated effort
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, search Google Drive for files matching the issue title or keywords from the description. Report back the 3 most relevant files and their last modified dates.'
- 4Choose your notification channel (Slack is ideal for quick context).
- 5Test by creating a Jira issue on a familiar topic and confirming related Drive files surface.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis decide which files are relevant?
Notis searches by title and description keywords. You can also specify folder names or labels to search within: 'Search the Design folder for CSS-related issues.'
Can I limit results to files modified in the last N days?
Yes. Ask Notis to prioritize recent work: 'Show files modified in the last 30 days first.'
What if no related files are found?
Notis notifies you that no matches were found, which is also useful—you know you're working on something genuinely new.
