Stay Current: Weekly Jira Status Review Reminder
Neurodivergent founders often let Jira status updates lapse. This workflow sends a weekly Slack reminder to review and update stale issue statuses, keeping your team's project data accurate.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get reminder information
Retrieves detailed information for an existing slack reminder specified by its id; this is a read-only operation.
Why this helps
Issue statuses in Jira drift from reality. Real progress happens but statuses don't update, leading to misaligned reporting and wasted sprint planning based on outdated data.
- Maintain accurate Jira data through regular status reviews
- Prevent sprints from being planned based on outdated information
- Reduce the cognitive load of remembering to update statuses manually
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Slack to Notis (one-time).
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'Every Friday at 3 PM, create a Slack reminder for me to review all issues in the active Jira sprint and update any that haven't been touched in the past 3 days.'
- 3Select 'Cron Trigger' and set it to 'Weekly on Friday at 3 PM'.
- 4Choose your personal DMs or team channel for the reminder.
- 5Test by running the automation manually and adjusting timing if needed.
Questions about this workflow
Can the reminder include a list of stale issues?
Yes. Ask Notis to include it: 'In the reminder, list all issues that haven't been updated in the last 3 days.'
How does Notis know if an issue is stale?
It checks the last update timestamp in Jira. You specify the threshold (e.g., '3 days,' '1 week').
Should I get this weekly or daily?
Adjust your prompt to daily if you need more frequent reviews, or monthly if weekly is too much.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Jira to Slack. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Jira triggers
Slack actions
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
Set snooze duration
Deprecated: turns on do not disturb mode for the current user, or changes its duration. use `set dnd duration` instead.
New Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
Add a custom emoji to a Slack team
Deprecated: adds a custom emoji to a slack workspace given a unique name and an image url. use `add emoji` instead.
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.

Add a remote file
Adds a reference to an external file (e.g., google drive, dropbox) to slack for discovery and sharing, requiring a unique `external id` and an `external url` accessible by slack.
