Keep Issue Context Together: Auto-Folder Creation for Jira Issues
Stop hunting through Google Drive for context. Notis creates a dedicated folder every time a new Jira issue lands, so you never lose track of related documents again.
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 a folder
Creates a new folder in google drive, optionally within a parent folder specified by its id or name; if a parent name is provided but not found, the action will fail.
Why this helps
New issues create a scramble: you're jumping between Jira and Google Drive, creating folders manually, then forgetting which folder belongs to which ticket. Context scatters across multiple locations, leading to duplicate work and missed details.
- Eliminate manual folder creation for every new issue
- Keep all issue-related docs in one discoverable location
- Reduce time spent searching across Google Drive
- Build a consistent, audit-ready documentation trail
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Jira workspace and Google Drive account to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Open your Notis portal and create a new automation: choose 'New Issue' as the trigger and name it 'Auto-Create Issue Folder'.
- 3Tell Notis your instruction: 'When a new Jira issue is created, create a folder in Google Drive with the issue key and title.'
- 4Select the channel where Notis should report runs (Slack, email, etc.).
- 5Test by creating a new Jira issue and confirming the folder appears in Google Drive within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose which project creates folders?
Yes. In your automation prompt, specify the Jira project key, e.g., 'When a new issue in PROJ is created, create a folder...'
Where do the folders get created?
They appear in your Google Drive root or a folder you specify in the prompt, e.g., 'in the Issues folder'.
Do folder names include the issue key?
Yes, Notis includes the issue key (e.g., PROJ-123) and title so folders are always findable and organized.
