Why this helps
Issues waiting on an update can disappear from attention when their next check-in has no date.
- Create follow-up events for issues meeting your chosen age rule.
- Include issue details that help you restart the conversation.
- Make waiting items visible without constant manual scanning.
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, and enter a name and prompt.
- 3Specify the stale-age rule, event timing, and which eligible issues merit follow-up.
- 4Select a recurring schedule trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real stale issue and review the event created.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis determine how long an issue has been stale?
Only if the Bugherd data returned includes a relevant date or history. Supply the age rule and ensure the needed data is available.
Can it create an event for every stale issue?
Yes, if that is your stated rule, but add a per-issue duplicate check so scheduled runs do not create repeated events.
