Create a Jira issue from an incoming webhook

Requests arrive from everywhere, a form, a landing page, a custom script, and each one that lands outside your tracking system is a ball waiting to be dropped. Notis takes an incoming webhook from any of those sources and opens a matching Jira issue immediately, so intake becomes tracked work the instant it arrives instead of the moment you happen to notice.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create Issue

Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.

Why this helps

Requests come in through forms and tools you cannot watch all day, and the ones that never become a Jira issue are the ones that fall through the cracks.

  • Incoming requests become tracked Jira issues without manual entry
  • Intake keeps running even when you are heads-down or offline
  • Nothing depends on you noticing an email or a form fill in time

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Open your portal link and choose New Automation.
  • 3Write the instruction plainly, for example: When a request comes in through my webhook, create a Jira issue from its details.
  • 4Pick the incoming webhook as the trigger and set your run-report channel.
  • 5Send one test request and confirm the Jira issue is created.

Questions about this workflow

What can send the webhook?

Any external tool or custom backend that can make an HTTP request, such as a form service or your own app.

How does Notis fill the issue?

It reads the incoming request and drafts the Jira issue from its contents, guided by your plain-language instruction.

Do I need to configure fields?

No. There are no field-mapping screens. Your instruction tells Notis how to shape the issue.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Jira. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Notion triggers

Jira actions

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

Add Attachment

Uploads and attaches a file to a jira issue.

ActionInstant

Comment Created

Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

TriggerInstant

Add Comment

Adds a comment using atlassian document format (adf) for rich text to an existing jira issue.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

Add Watcher to Issue

Adds a user to an issue's watcher list by account id.

ActionInstant

Database Created

Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.

TriggerInstant

Assign Issue

Assigns a jira issue to a user, default assignee, or unassigns; supports email/name lookup.

ActionInstant

Data Source Created

Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.

TriggerInstant

Bulk Create Issues

Creates multiple jira issues (up to 50 per call) with full feature support including markdown, assignee resolution, and priority handling.

ActionInstant

Data Source Schema Updated

Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.

TriggerInstant

Create Issue

Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.

ActionInstant

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

TriggerPolling

Link Issues

Links two jira issues using a specified link type with optional comment.

ActionInstant

Page Added to Page

Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.

TriggerPolling

Create Project

Creates a new jira project with required lead, template, and type configuration.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Not just Notion and Jira. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
