Turn engineering decisions into trackable follow-up
A decision is only useful if its follow-up survives the conversation. Send the decision note through Ably and track the agreed action in Bitbucket.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create an issue
Creates a new issue in a bitbucket repository, setting the authenticated user as reporter; ensures assignee (if provided) has repository access, and that any specified milestone, version, or component ids exist.
Why this helps
Action items hidden in decision threads are easy to forget once everyone moves on to the next task.
- Separate explicit next steps from discussion.
- Retain the decision that explains why the work matters.
- Make follow-up visible in the team's repository.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Bitbucket once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for decision follow-up.
- 3Describe that explicit action items in an incoming decision note should become Bitbucket issues with their rationale.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real decision note and confirm only agreed actions become issues.
Questions about this workflow
Will every message become an issue?
Describe that only explicit action items should become issues. Discussion or undecided ideas should not be treated as commitments.
What if a note has no rationale?
The issue can use the supplied action item, but rationale should be included in the note if the team needs it.
