Question 1

How do I notify an assignee on WhatsApp when a Jira issue is created?

Accepted Answer

Use the Jira on issue created trigger and connect a WhatsApp send text message node. Map the issue summary and key into the message body and resolve the assignee to a phone number for the recipient.

Question 2

Can a WhatsApp message create a Jira issue?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Start with the WhatsApp receive message operation and wire it into a Jira create issue node. Map the message text into the description and set a project and issue type for the new ticket.

Question 3

Which Jira events can drive a WhatsApp notification?

Accepted Answer

The Jira node provides triggers for issue created, updated, and deleted, plus comment added. Each can start a workflow that ends in a WhatsApp message to the assignee, reporter, or a watcher.

Question 4

Can I add a Jira comment from WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After the WhatsApp receive message trigger, parse the issue key from the message and use the add comment to issue operation to post the rest of the text as a comment.

Question 5

How do I send a digest of overdue issues to WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

Run a scheduled workflow that uses search issues with JQL to find overdue tickets, format the results into a list, and send it as a single WhatsApp text message to the project lead.
