Automatically Attach New Drive Files to Jira
New files in Drive automatically attach to their Jira ticket. All assets in one place, no manual uploading.
Trigger
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
Action
Add Attachment
Uploads and attaches a file to a jira issue.
Why this helps
Files are created in Google Drive, but attaching them to Jira tickets is a manual step that often gets skipped, scattering project assets.
- Automatic attachment of new files to Jira issues
- Centralized project asset storage
- Reduce manual file uploading
- All artifacts searchable in Jira
- Clear link between ticket and supporting files
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Jira to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new file is created in Google Drive, attach it to the matching Jira ticket.'
- 3Define which tickets should receive attachments (by name, project, or keyword).
- 4Test by creating a file in Google Drive and checking that it attaches to the Jira issue within moments.
Questions about this workflow
Can I filter which files get attached? (e.g., PDFs only)
Yes. For example: 'Only attach PDFs and Docs, skip image files.'
What if a file is too large to attach to Jira?
Notis can add a comment with a shareable Drive link instead of uploading the file directly.
Can I automatically rename files when they're attached?
Yes. You can add a prefix or suffix, like 'APPROVED-filename.pdf' to make versions clear.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Jira. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Add Comment
Adds a comment using atlassian document format (adf) for rich text to an existing jira issue.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)

Bulk Create Issues
Creates multiple jira issues (up to 50 per call) with full feature support including markdown, assignee resolution, and priority handling.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Create Issue
Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Link Issues
Links two jira issues using a specified link type with optional comment.
