Notification Actions

When Jira finds something important, the notification card shows:

  • View issue — open the issue in Jira
  • Add comment — AI drafts a comment you can edit before posting
  • Assign to me — assign the issue to yourself
  • Escalate — flag the issue for team leads
  • Mark complete — transition the issue to done

All action chips that involve writing (Add comment, Escalate, etc.) open the AI draft panel — AI generates a suggested response that you can edit before posting.

Troubleshooting

"401 Unauthorized" error

Your API token or email is incorrect. Jira uses the combination of email + API token for authentication. Make sure the email matches your Atlassian account exactly.

"404 Not Found" for domain

Make sure you enter just the domain (e.g. yourcompany.atlassian.net), not the full URL with https:// or a trailing slash.

Can't see certain projects

Your Atlassian account needs access to the Jira projects you want to monitor. The API token inherits your account's permissions — it can only see what you can see in the Jira UI.
