Why this helps

- Cuts the context switch from inbox to repository research.
- Gives you an AI-powered, context-grounded response to review.
- Makes incoming technical questions easier to triage.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to identify repository questions in new emails and ask Devin using the repository and question details available in the message.
- 4Pick New Email Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
