Auto-create Jira issues from new calendar events
Stop entering the same event twice. When you create a calendar event, Notis instantly creates a matching Jira issue so your work tracking stays in sync with your time blocking.
Trigger
Event Created
Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.
Action
Create Issue
Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.
Why this helps
Creating calendar events and then forgetting to (or duplicating effort to) create corresponding Jira issues, leading to split tracking across tools and lost tasks.
- One event, one record—write once in your calendar, have it automatically flow into Jira
- Never lose a task because you forgot to create the Jira issue
- Reduces cognitive load by eliminating double-entry work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Google Calendar and Jira accounts to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
- 2Create a new automation: "When a new event is created in Google Calendar, create a matching Jira issue."
- 3Choose Slack, email, or another channel where you want Notis to report successful automation runs.
- 4Test by creating a new calendar event; verify the Jira issue appears within seconds.
- 5Optionally refine the prompt to add assignees, priority labels, or custom fields based on event keywords.
Questions about this workflow
What if I want only certain calendar events to create Jira issues?
Tell Notis to filter by calendar name, event title keywords, or attendee list. For example: 'Create Jira issues only from events on my Work calendar that include Dev in the title.'
Can Notis pull event details like attendees and description into the Jira issue?
Yes. Notis reads the full event metadata and can populate the Jira issue description, add attendees as watchers, and use event details for issue summaries and fields.
What happens if I delete the calendar event after the Jira issue is created?
The Jira issue remains. You can set up a separate automation to delete or archive Jira issues when calendar events are canceled if you prefer full cleanup.
