Link WhatsApp Media to Your Jira Tickets

Customers send you screenshots and files over WhatsApp—now they automatically land in the right Jira ticket.

Trigger

New Message Received

Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.

Action

Add Attachment

Uploads and attaches a file to a jira issue.

Why this helps

Customers attach screenshots or documents via WhatsApp, but the files stay in the chat. By the time you find them again, you've already described the issue without the reference material.

  • No more hunting through WhatsApp for customer attachments
  • All evidence and context stored with the issue
  • Faster debugging with screenshots already in Jira
  • Audit trail of customer-provided material

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Jira integrations to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation with 'New Message Received' as the trigger and 'Add Attachment to Issue' as the action.
  • 3Instruct Notis: 'When a customer sends a file or photo on WhatsApp, attach it to the matching Jira issue.'
  • 4Select your notification channel and test by sending a screenshot through WhatsApp.

Questions about this workflow

What file types are supported?

All common formats: images (PNG, JPG, GIF), PDFs, documents, and videos. WhatsApp's supported media types are automatically handled.

Do file attachments take up extra Jira storage?

Files are stored in Jira's native attachment system, so they count toward your Jira instance's storage limits.

Can I attach media to multiple issues?

Yes. Your instruction can specify where media should go, like 'attach to the issue mentioned in the message' or 'attach to issue ID 456.'

Message Status Updated

Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
