Make Bugherd issue handoffs easier to pick up
Give the next owner a concise handoff they can scan and act on.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
Reassigned issues often require the new owner to reconstruct context before they can start.
- Summarize the supplied issue context for the next owner.
- Make the requested next step easy to find.
- Keep the handoff as a draft for review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bugherd and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to draft a handoff email when the webhook reports reassignment, using supplied issue details and the new owner's address only if present.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real reassignment and verify the recipient before sending.
Questions about this workflow
Will it guess the new owner's email?
No. The email address must be supplied or otherwise available in the connected context.
What goes in the handoff?
The draft can summarize available issue details and the stated next step without inventing missing context.
