FAQ

Questions about Comment Created.

How does the Comment Created trigger work in Jira?

Fires when a comment is added to a Jira issue. Used to mirror engineering discussion to Slack, feed AI summaries, or notify external requesters.

Is the Comment Created trigger real-time?

Yes. Comment Created uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Jira.

What data does Comment Created return?

The full event payload from Jira. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter Comment Created so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need Jira admin permissions to use Comment Created?

For most Jira accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Jira plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Jira's docs if the trigger fails to register.
