New comment
Get a push notification when someone comments on a Jira issue.
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 Comment: created.
STEP 03
Get a push on your phone
With the text, sound and buttons from the recipe.
How to set up the Jira comment: created webhook
- Click Install in Studio and sign in. The recipe is added to your account and you get a personal webhook URL.
- In Jira, go to Settings > System > WebHooks and click Create a WebHook (Jira admins only).
- 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
- Tick Comment: created and save.
- Create an admin webhook under **Settings → System → WebHooks** and tick **Comment: created**. Use the JQL box (for example `project = SHOP`) to limit which issues push. Edited and deleted comments are ignored.
- 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.
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.

The Jira comment_created webhook
