Transition Jira Issues With One Telegram Button Tap
Approvals shouldn't require opening Jira. Tap the button. Done.
Trigger
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
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
Review requests languish because clicking them open in Jira feels like friction. Telegram is always open; Jira isn't.
- Approve work without leaving Telegram
- Instant workflow state changes
- Reduces approval bottlenecks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Jira integrations in Notis (portal setup).
- 2Create an automation: 'Send me a Telegram button to move a Jira issue to the next workflow state'.
- 3Notis adds inline keyboard buttons to its Telegram messages, triggered when a 'Callback Query' (button tap) occurs.
- 4Set your notification channel for confirmation that the issue transitioned.
- 5Test by tapping a button in a Notis message—the Jira issue moves through the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use multiple buttons for different transitions?
Yes. Notis can offer multiple workflow options (e.g., Approve, Request Changes, Close) as separate buttons.
Does the issue move in real time?
Yes. Tapping the button immediately transitions the Jira issue and sends confirmation back to Telegram.
What if someone taps by accident?
Notis can add a confirmation step or use reversible transitions—e.g., moving from 'Approved' back to 'In Review'.
