Organize log sources from email requests
A clear request to group related log sources can become a Better Stack source group without a manual settings detour.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Create Source Group
Tool to create a new source group. use when you have finalized the group name (and optional sort index) and need to organize related log sources under that group.
Why this helps
Small log organization tasks are easy to postpone when they live only in email.
- Capture a named grouping request while it is fresh.
- Cut down the steps between an email and log organization.
- Use run reports to track whether the request was handled.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Better Stack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and add a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Better Stack source group when a new email explicitly requests one and includes its intended name.
- 4Choose New Email Received, then select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email requesting a named source group.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation decide which sources belong in the group?
The listed action creates a source group. Any source membership decisions must be explicit in the request and supported by the available action.
What if the group name is unclear?
Instruct Notis to report the ambiguity and avoid creating a group with a guessed name.
