Capture Context Immediately: Auto-Generated Intake Notes
New Jira issues often lack critical context. Notis instantly attaches intake questions to the Drive file so you gather details before work starts—no back-and-forth later.
Trigger
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Action
Create Comment
Tool to create a comment on a file. use when you need to add a new comment to a specific file in google drive.
Why this helps
A new issue lands with vague details. You start work, realize you're missing context, then have to chase down the issue reporter. Days pass. Work stalls.
- Gather critical context upfront, no rework later
- Standardize issue intake across all new tickets
- Reduce back-and-forth and clarification delays
- Build a reusable intake trail in Drive
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with 'New Issue' as the trigger.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When a new Jira issue is created, add a comment to the corresponding Google Drive file with the following intake questions: What is the exact success criteria? What constraints or deadlines exist? Who are the stakeholders? What is blocking this? Mark answers with [ANSWERED] when complete.'
- 4Select your notification channel.
- 5Create a test issue and verify the intake comment appears in the Drive file within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the intake questions for different issue types?
Yes. In your prompt, specify different questions for Bugs vs. Features vs. Tasks, e.g., 'For bugs, ask: Steps to reproduce, Expected behavior, Current behavior.'
Can the comment include a template or checklist?
Absolutely. Use checklist formatting in your prompt: '- [ ] Success criteria defined, - [ ] Stakeholders identified, etc.'
Who can see the intake comments?
Anyone with access to the Drive file sees comments. You control file access via sharing settings.
