Give bug fixing a reliable place in your day
A small, predictable work block can make it easier to start on the next Bugherd issue.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Bug fixes compete with meetings and incoming requests when there is no regular place to do the work.
- Create a repeatable daily work slot.
- Keep a clear cue for the work session in the event title.
- Make focused issue work easier to see among other commitments.
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.
- 3Specify the daily time, duration, and concise event text to create.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test once and confirm the event is created at the intended time.
Questions about this workflow
Will this choose which issue I should work on?
Only if you specify a selection rule and Bugherd provides the needed issue data. Otherwise it creates a general work block.
Can Quick Add create a recurring event by itself?
No. This workflow creates a basic event each time the schedule runs.
