Automatically Convert GitHub Issues to Jira Tickets
GitHub issues appear in Jira instantly. No more toggling between tools to find what needs doing.
Trigger
New Issue Created
Triggers when a new issue is created in a GitHub repository. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues produce events. Results can be filtered by labels, assignee, creator, and mentioned user. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, comment count, creator details, timestamps, and direct links to the issue on GitHub.
Action
Create Issue
Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.
Why this helps
Issues live in GitHub; tasks live in Jira. You end up checking both systems, and issues get missed because they're not in your primary task tracker. Manual syncing wastes time and introduces errors.
- Keep all work visible in one task system (Jira)
- Eliminate manual ticket creation
- Reduce cognitive overhead of monitoring multiple apps
- Build a single source of truth for team issues
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Jira in the Notis portal (done once per workspace).
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a new issue is created in GitHub, create a corresponding ticket in Jira' or use Automations > New Automation.
- 3Set the trigger to 'New Issue Created' and action to 'Create Jira Issue'.
- 4Select your default Jira project and notification channel.
- 5Test with a sample GitHub issue to confirm the Jira ticket appears.
Questions about this workflow
Does this include pull requests?
No—this triggers only on true GitHub issues. Pull requests are separate events.
Can I filter by repository or issue label?
Yes. Configure the trigger to watch specific repos or use label filters in your automation prompt.
What if the issue is created by a bot?
You can exclude bot authors in your plain-language prompt if you don't want to track automated issues.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Jira. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Jira actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Add Attachment
Uploads and attaches a file to a jira issue.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Add Comment
Adds a comment using atlassian document format (adf) for rich text to an existing jira issue.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Add Watcher to Issue
Adds a user to an issue's watcher list by account id.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Assign Issue
Assigns a jira issue to a user, default assignee, or unassigns; supports email/name lookup.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Bulk Create Issues
Creates multiple jira issues (up to 50 per call) with full feature support including markdown, assignee resolution, and priority handling.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Create Issue
Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Link Issues
Links two jira issues using a specified link type with optional comment.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
