Add a Jira comment whenever a new Notion comment appears

Great context often lives in a Notion comment that your engineers never see because they work in Jira. Notis picks up each new Notion comment and posts it onto the linked Jira issue, so the decision, the clarification, or the reminder lands exactly where the work is happening.

Trigger

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.

Action

Add Comment

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

Why this helps

Important context gets typed into a Notion comment and stays buried there, invisible to the teammates who are actually building the thing in Jira.

  • Context typed in Notion reaches the people working the issue in Jira
  • Decisions stop getting lost between two separate conversation threads
  • You avoid re-explaining the same note in a second tool

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Link Notion and Jira to Notis once via the portal.
  • 2Use your portal link to open Automations and select New Automation.
  • 3Write the plain-language instruction, for example: When a new comment is added in Notion, post it as a comment on the related Jira issue.
  • 4Choose the Comment Created trigger from Notion and pick where Notis reports runs.
  • 5Leave a test comment in Notion and check that it appears on the Jira issue.

Questions about this workflow

Do I need special Notion permissions for comment events?

Yes, the Notion connection needs the read comments capability enabled. If it was authorized earlier, re-authorize it once so comment events can flow.

Can I limit it to one Notion page?

Yes. Tell Notis which page to watch and it will only forward comments from there.

Does it keep the commenter name?

Notis can include who commented in the Jira note if you ask for that in the instruction.

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.
