Stop Files From Getting Lost in Email
Someone emails you a spreadsheet, design, or doc. You meant to attach it to Jira but got distracted, and now it's buried in your email. This automation moves files directly into Jira.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Add Attachment
Uploads and attaches a file to a jira issue.
Why this helps
Files and designs arrive via email but stay trapped there because manually downloading and uploading to Jira is friction you skip, scattering assets across tools.
- Files from email land in Jira automatically—no manual download/upload steps
- All project assets stay in one searchable system
- Reduce the friction that keeps files scattered across email and Jira
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Jira to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When I receive an email with attachments, create a Jira issue (or add to an existing one) and upload all attached files.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'New Gmail Message Received' and choose your notification channel.
- 4Test by emailing yourself a file and confirming it's attached to the created Jira issue.
Questions about this workflow
What file types can be attached?
Jira supports PDFs, images, spreadsheets, docs, videos, and more—almost any file you'd email.
Can Notis add files to an existing issue instead of creating a new one?
Yes. Tell Notis the rule—e.g., 'Add to the current sprint issue' or 'Link to the issue matching this project name.'
How large can attachments be?
Jira has per-file limits (typically 250 MB), but Notis handles most real files without issue.
