Automatically Close Jira Issues When Work Completes
Your source of truth is the tracking spreadsheet. When you mark a task done, Notis automatically transitions the Jira issue to resolved, so your issue tracker reflects reality without manual cleanup.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Row Changed
Triggers when a looked-up spreadsheet row changes. This trigger monitors a specific row (located by searching for a query value within a user-specified range) and fires when the row's values change, when the row appears, or when the row disappears.
Action
Transition Issue
Transitions a jira issue to a different workflow state, with support for transition name lookup and user assignment by email.
Why this helps
Completed tasks languish in 'In Progress' or other open states in Jira because you forget to close them when you update the spreadsheet.
- Clean, accurate issue status
- Burndown chart reflects reality
- No manual cleanup backlog
- Team sees what's actually done

Questions about this workflow
What if I accidentally mark something done?
Notis can reopen it if you change the status back in the spreadsheet, or you can manually reopen in Jira.
What if my Jira workflow doesn't have a 'Resolved' state?
Tell Notis the exact state name to use—'Done', 'Complete', 'Closed', etc.—and it will transition there instead.
Does this add a comment or just change status?
By default it just changes status. You can ask Notis to add a timestamp comment if you'd like a record of when it closed.
