Escalate Critical Jira Issues to Your Team Channel

Critical issues demand fast eyes. This automation pushes high-priority items straight to your Telegram war room, skipping the inbox bottleneck.

Trigger

New Issue

Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.

Action

Send Message

Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.

Why this helps

Critical bugs and urgent requests get buried in Jira. Your team doesn't know to jump on them until hours later, when context has already scattered.

  • Faster response to critical issues
  • Team stays synchronized
  • No missed red flags
  • Clear escalation path

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and Telegram to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
  • 2Create an automation by telling Notis: 'When a new high-priority or critical issue is created in Jira, send a message to my #critical-issues Telegram channel.'
  • 3Pick Jira's 'New Issue' trigger and select your critical-issues Telegram channel.
  • 4Verify with a test issue marked as critical priority.

Questions about this workflow

How do I define 'high-priority'?

You describe it in your automation prompt. Notis understands common priority levels (Critical, High, Urgent) and custom labels.

Can I escalate to multiple channels?

Yes. Create separate automations for different channels or teams within your plain-language prompt.

What if I want escalation for specific projects only?

Include that in your prompt: 'When a new high-priority issue is created in the Backend project, send a message to Telegram.'
