Save Slack decisions on Jira issues
When a team settles a question in Slack, capture the decision on the Jira issue it affects.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Add Comment
Adds a comment using atlassian document format (adf) for rich text to an existing jira issue.
Why this helps
Decisions left in Slack can be hard to find later when someone returns to the Jira ticket.
- Keep a decision alongside the work it affects.
- Make issue context easier to find later.
- Reduce repeated questions about what the team agreed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named for decision capture.
- 3Tell Notis to identify channel messages that state a decision about a Jira issue and add a concise comment to that issue with the decision and Slack context.
- 4Choose Channel Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with a real decision that names or links its Jira issue.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which Jira issue to comment on?
The message should identify the issue, for example by its Jira key or an issue link. Include that requirement in your instruction.
Does the comment preserve the decision verbatim?
You can ask Notis to preserve the wording or summarize it. Test the result with a real decision before relying on it.
