Keep your team informed with instant WhatsApp status updates
When a Jira issue moves from 'In Progress' to 'Done', Notis sends a WhatsApp summary to everyone who needs to know. No more 'did you finish that?' messages.
Trigger
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.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Status updates buried in Jira emails mean stakeholders stay out of sync. Managers and founders end up asking for status manually, creating redundant check-ins.
- Stakeholders get real-time status without asking
- Reduces redundant 'is it done?' check-in messages
- Keeps async teams aligned across time zones
- Instant visibility builds confidence in project progress
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and WhatsApp integrations in Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: "Whenever an issue status changes in Jira, send a WhatsApp message to the project stakeholders."
- 3Notis will identify key fields (who changed it, what status it moved to, priority) and include them in the message.
- 4Pick who should receive these updates (assignee, reporter, project lead, custom list).
- 5Test by moving a Jira issue between statuses and verify the WhatsApp notification arrives.
Questions about this workflow
Will I get spammed if an issue status changes many times?
By default, yes. You can ask Notis to 'only notify on certain status transitions' (e.g., only when moving to Done or Blocked) to reduce noise.
Can I customize who gets notified?
Absolutely. You can specify the assignee, reporter, team, or a custom list. Ask Notis to refine the recipients based on issue priority or project.
What if I only care about specific statuses?
Tell Notis: 'Only notify when issues move to Done or Blocked.' It will filter updates so you only see what matters.
