Record why a commitment moved in Jira
A changed date is easier to understand when the reason travels with it. Have Notis add that context to the related Jira issue.
Trigger
Calendar Event Changes
Triggered when a new calendar event occurs (created, updated, or deleted) in the Outlook calendar.
Action
Add Comment
Adds a comment using atlassian document format (adf) for rich text to an existing jira issue.
Why this helps
A deadline or meeting moves, but teammates see only a different date and have to ask what caused the change.
- Explain schedule changes where the team tracks delivery.
- Reduce follow-up questions about why plans moved.
- Preserve context that may otherwise stay in a private calendar.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to comment on the related issue when a changed event states a clear reason for rescheduling.
- 4Choose the Outlook Calendar Event Changes trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real rescheduled event that includes a reason and review the comment.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis infer a reason if the event does not provide one?
No. Ask it to comment only when a reason is stated, and to avoid inventing an explanation.
How should the issue be identified?
Put a Jira key or other reliable reference in the event details and tell Notis how to use it.
Does the workflow cover cancelled meetings?
The trigger includes deleted calendar events. Describe separately whether a cancellation with no stated reason should be recorded.
