Jira issue status changed notifications on your phone.

Get a push notification when a Jira issue moves to another status, or only when it's done.

How it works

Three steps to your first push

STEP 01

Install the recipe

One click in Studio gives you a personal webhook URL.

STEP 02

Paste your URL into Jira

Add it as a webhook for Issue: updated.

STEP 03

Get a push on your phone

With the text, sound and buttons from the recipe.

Setup

How to set up the Jira issue: updated webhook

  1. Click Install in Studio and sign in. The recipe is added to your account and you get a personal webhook URL.
  2. In Jira, go to Settings > System > WebHooks and click Create a WebHook (Jira admins only).
  3. Paste your webhook URL as the URL. Optionally limit it with a JQL filter such as project = ABC.https://••••••••/•••••••• your personal URL, shown after install
  4. Tick Issue: updated and save.
  5. Create an admin webhook under **Settings → System → WebHooks** and tick **Issue: updated**. Every status change pushes; to only hear about finished work (statuses in the **Done** category), use:
  6. ```
  7. your webhook URL?done=1
  8. ```
  9. You can also narrow it with the webhook's JQL box, for example `project = SHOP AND type = Bug`.
  10. Admin webhooks can have a **Secret**, which Jira uses to sign each delivery (`X-Hub-Signature: sha256=…`), but JustPush doesn't check that signature yet, so keep your endpoint URL private.
The code

What runs when the webhook arrives

Studio calls handleRequest(request) with the incoming webhook and sends the message it returns. It's yours after install; change anything.

transform.js
1// Jira → jira:issue_updated (issue status changed)
2// Fires when an issue moves to another status (To Do → In Progress → Done …).
3// Add ?done=1 to the URL to only hear about issues moving into a Done-category status.
4// Docs: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/webhooks/

6// Status categories (new, indeterminate, done) → emoji.
7const CATEGORIES = { new: "📋", indeterminate: "🚧", done: "✅" }
