Give a blocker a fast path to a decision
When a blocker needs people together, create a focused escalation meeting with the relevant issue context.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Why this helps
A blocking issue can stall work while the people needed to decide next steps struggle to find time together.
- Create a focused meeting for an explicitly escalated blocker.
- Carry the supplied problem details into the event.
- Make a decision point visible to the invited group.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bugherd and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to create an escalation event only when the request includes blocker context and timing.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a destination for run reports.
- 5Test with one real blocker escalation request.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis decide whether an issue is a blocker?
Only apply a rule you provide or use an explicit blocker indicator in the request. Do not rely on missing or inferred status.
Can invitees be included?
Yes, when the webhook provides the intended attendees and the event is created with the full desired attendee list.
