Alert stakeholders when a Jira escalation signal is removed

Give stakeholders a clear signal when the team's escalation reaction on a Jira discussion is withdrawn.

Trigger

Message Reaction Removed

Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.

Action

Send Notification for Issue

Sends a customized email notification for a jira issue.

Why this helps

A changed escalation signal may not reach people following the issue, leaving them with outdated expectations.

  • Make a changed escalation signal visible to issue stakeholders.
  • Keep the alert tied to the relevant Jira issue.
  • Reduce uncertainty during follow-up.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Jira once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation for escalation signal changes.
  • 3Tell Notis to send a customized notification for the referenced Jira issue when the team's escalation reaction is removed, explaining that the signal changed.
  • 4Choose Message Reaction Removed as the trigger and select the reaction if available.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with a real issue discussion.

Questions about this workflow

Does removing the reaction delete or close the Jira issue?

No. This workflow sends a notification for the issue when the reaction is removed.

Can the notification explain why it was removed?

Ask Notis to include a reason only when the Slack message provides one. Otherwise it should report only that the signal changed.
