Create and Assign Jira Issues from Your Priority Spreadsheet
Your priority queue in Google Sheets is the real signal. Notis watches it and immediately creates and assigns Jira issues so your team can start working without delay.
Trigger
New Rows in Google Sheet
Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.
Action
Assign Issue
Assigns a jira issue to a user, default assignee, or unassigns; supports email/name lookup.
Why this helps
You carefully build a priority queue in a spreadsheet, but then tasks sit unassigned in Jira while team members wait for notifications or manual assignment.
- Removes assignment delays
- Captures assigned owner at point of intake
- Reduces need for async status meetings
- Team starts work immediately on priority items
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Jira integrations
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new row is added to my priority queue sheet, create a Jira issue and assign it to the person listed'
- 3Select 'New Rows in Google Sheet' as your trigger
- 4Notis will map the owner column in your spreadsheet to Jira users automatically
- 5Test by adding a row with an assignee name and verify Jira creates an assigned issue
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know who to assign the issue to?
You include an assignee name or email in your spreadsheet. Notis matches it to Jira user accounts automatically.
What if the person isn't in Jira?
Notis will notify you. You can invite the person to Jira or adjust the spreadsheet name to match an existing user.
Can I set priority level too?
Yes. Include a priority column in your spreadsheet and Notis will set the Jira issue priority when creating the ticket.
