1.Catch hook for issue updates
Integrate Webhooks by Zapier and event payload handling to catch incoming issue update events.
Update issue status and trigger PR merge workflows
Automatically catch incoming issue update hooks across Jira Software Cloud, Zapier Tables, Sub-Zap by Zapier, Code by Zapier, and Webhooks by Zapier. Create and update when testing starts, mergeAllowed flag appears, or PR readiness checks pass—so you can validate PRs, run CI and review checks, and update issue next steps without manual status chasing.
How this automation updates issue next steps
When incoming issue updates arrive, delays can stall approvals and block merges. This automation validates PR and CI readiness, then updates Jira issue transitions and comments—so your team can move from testing to merge-ready with confidence.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
