Bulk-create Jira issues from your Notion backlog on a schedule

Ideas pile up in your Notion backlog faster than you can move them into Jira, and the untracked ones quietly become the ones that never happen. On the weekly rhythm you set, Notis reviews the backlog and bulk-creates Jira issues for anything not yet tracked, so a scattered week of capture turns into a tidy, actionable board without a manual sweep.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Bulk Create Issues

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

Why this helps

Your Notion backlog fills up all week, but the items you never got around to moving into Jira are exactly the ones that slip away.

  • Untracked Notion items become Jira issues in one weekly sweep
  • A messy week of capture becomes an organized, actionable board
  • Nothing you jotted down stays stranded outside your tracking system

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and Jira to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Open your portal link and start a New Automation.
  • 3Write it plainly, for example: Every Friday, create Jira issues for any Notion backlog items that are not yet in Jira.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and set your run-report channel.
  • 5Run it once and confirm the untracked items become Jira issues.

Questions about this workflow

How does it avoid duplicating issues?

Notis checks which backlog items already have Jira issues based on your instruction and only creates the ones that are missing.

How many can it create at once?

It creates issues in a batch per run, which handles a normal week's backlog comfortably.

Can I run it more often?

Yes, choose any cadence you like, from daily to biweekly, when you set the schedule.

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.
