1.1 Workflow description

Title
Sync Jira issues with subsequent comments to Notion database
Workflow name
Sync Jira issues with subsequent comments to Notion database

This workflow creates/updates/deletes a Notion database page when an issue is created/updated/deleted in Jira. Subsequent updates to the issue's title or status in Jira are updated in the Notion database. If you require more fields to send to Notion, this template is easily extendible which will be described in setup. The Notion database will require setup before the workflow can be used.

Prerequisites

How it works

  1. When a new issue is created in Jira, the workflow creates a new page in the Notion database will all the required fields.
  2. When the issue's title or status is updated in Jira, the workflow updates the specific Notion database page identified by the "Issue Key" field in Notion. If the status in Jira is set to "Done", the workflow will mark the Notion database page "Done" field as true.
  3. When the issue is deleted in Jira, the workflow archives the Notion database page.

Setup

This workflow requires that you set up a Notion database. To do so, follow the steps below:

  1. In Notion, create a new database.
  2. Add the following columns to the database:
    • Done (with type "Checkbox")
    • Title (renamed from "Name")
    • Status (with the following options: "To Do", "In Progress", "Done")
    • Link (with type "URL")
    • Issue ID (with type "Number")
    • Issue Key (with type "Text")
    • Add any other fields you require to the database.
  3. Your database should look something like this

  1. Share the database to n8n.
  2. By default, the workflow will fill all the fields provided above, except for any other additional fields you add.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/1831/1831.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
