Add Team Members as Jira Watchers From Telegram
Mention someone in Telegram. They watch the Jira issue. Automatic.
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
Add Watcher to Issue
Adds a user to an issue's watcher list by account id.
Why this helps
Relevant people are scattered across Telegram, but Jira issues have no watchers, so updates get missed.
- Mentioned people automatically watch Jira issues
- Team stays informed without manual watcher management
- Stakeholders see progress in real time
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Jira to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When I mention someone in Telegram, add them as a watcher on the Jira issue'.
- 3Notis triggers on 'New Message Received' and parses mentions (e.g., @alice).
- 4Set your notification channel for confirmation.
- 5Test by mentioning someone in a message—Notis adds them as a watcher to the related issue.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis find the right issue?
Notis can match based on recent context—e.g., an issue you created in the last few minutes, or one you reference by ID.
Will mentioned people get notifications?
Yes. Once added as watchers, they'll get Jira notifications for comments, transitions, and field changes.
Can I add multiple people at once?
Yes. Mention multiple people in one message, and Notis adds all of them as watchers.
