Update Jira Issue Priority From Telegram Keywords
Write URGENT in Telegram. Jira issue gets marked critical. That's it.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
Edit Issue
Updates an existing jira issue with field values and operations. supports direct field parameters (summary, description, assignee, priority, etc.) that are merged with the fields parameter. direct parameters take precedence.
Why this helps
Priority markers live in Telegram messages ('this is critical!'), but Jira fields stay at default. Priorities get missed.
- Telegram keywords automatically update Jira fields
- Urgent work gets flagged without opening Jira
- Priority stays visible in your backlog
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure Telegram and Jira are connected in Notis.
- 2Request an automation: 'When my message contains URGENT or CRITICAL, update the Jira issue priority to High'.
- 3Notis triggers on 'New Message Received' and scans for your keywords.
- 4Choose your notification channel for priority update confirmations.
- 5Test by sending a message with URGENT—Notis updates the issue priority in seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use multiple keywords?
Yes. You can map different keywords to different priorities—e.g., URGENT→High, CRITICAL→Highest, BACKBURNER→Low.
What other fields can I update?
Any Jira field: status, labels, custom fields, etc. Notis parses your natural language to update them.
Does it work with existing issues?
Yes. You can reference an issue by ID (e.g., 'PROJ-123: URGENT fix') and Notis updates that issue.
