Bulk-Create Jira Issues from a Webhook Payload
One webhook arrives with 30 items. Notis creates all 30 Jira tickets at once instead of triggering 30 separate workflows.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
An external system sends a batch of items that each need a Jira ticket, but webhook setups usually only allow one issue per trigger. Manual workarounds require custom scripts.
- Create 50 related issues in seconds instead of triggering 50 separate workflows
- Massive time savings for batch operations
- Cleaner backlog structure with all related items grouped
- Reduces load on your automation runner
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up Jira in Notis and create an automation with 'Webhook' trigger and 'Bulk Create Issues' action.
- 2Instruct Notis: 'When a webhook arrives with an array of items, create a Jira issue for each one in a single bulk call.'
- 3Notis generates a webhook URL. Configure your external system to send an array of objects in the payload.
- 4Test with a batch payload containing 5-10 items and confirm all issues are created.
Questions about this workflow
How should I structure the webhook payload for bulk creation?
Send an array of objects, each with title, description, priority, etc. Notis parses the array and creates one issue per object.
What's the maximum number of issues per webhook?
Notis supports up to 50 issues per bulk call. If you need more, send multiple webhooks.
Can I link the bulk-created issues to each other?
Yes. Your instruction can say 'link all created issues together as a related task group' or create an epic with all as subtasks.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Whatsapp to Jira. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Whatsapp triggers
Jira actions
Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
