Create Jira Tasks When Pull Requests Need Your Review

Get assigned a PR review? Notis creates a Jira task instantly, so your review doesn't slip through the cracks.

Trigger

GitHub Pull Request Reviewers Changed

Triggers when the list of requested reviewers (users or teams) for a pull request changes — for example when a reviewer is added, removed, or re-requested. The payload includes the full current reviewer list (users and teams with details), which reviewers were added, which were removed, and the previous reviewer list for reference.

Action

Create Issue

Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.

Why this helps

You get assigned to review pull requests, but managing review requests across GitHub and your task system creates context-switching overhead. Reviews get deprioritized and forgotten because they live in GitHub while your actual task list is in Jira.

  • Centralize review tasks in Jira with your other work
  • Eliminate manual ticket creation for each review
  • Ensure code reviews don't get lost in notifications
  • Build a clear audit trail of review cycles

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your GitHub and Jira accounts to Notis (one-time setup in the Notis portal).
  • 2Create a new automation: ask Notis 'When I'm assigned as a reviewer on a pull request, create a task in Jira reminding me to review it' or use the portal's Automations > New Automation feature.
  • 3Select 'Pull Request Reviewers Changed' as the trigger and 'Jira Create Issue' as the action.
  • 4Choose a Jira project and the Slack channel where Notis should report runs.
  • 5Test by requesting someone to add you as a reviewer on a test pull request.

Questions about this workflow

What if I'm assigned multiple reviewers at once?

Each reviewer assignment fires a separate automation run, so you'll get a task for each time you're newly added to the reviewer list.

Can I filter this to only certain repositories?

Yes—configure the trigger to watch specific repositories, and Notis will only fire when you're assigned in those repos.

What if the review task is already in Jira?

Notis creates a new task each time. You can add deduplication logic in your plain-language prompt to check for existing tasks first.
