Trigger

Why this helps
Release decisions stall when blocker context is spread between bug reports, chat, and meeting notes.
- Prepares a concise artifact for a release decision.
- Keeps reported facts distinct from assumptions.
- Makes unresolved questions visible before discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bugherd and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for blocker briefs.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Drive decision brief from the received blocker issue with impact, evidence, and open questions, noting missing data.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a destination for run reports.
- 5Test with one real issue already classified as a blocker.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis decide whether a bug blocks release?
No. The issue should already be identified as a blocker, or the request should include that decision.
Can it include a release date?
Only if the date is supplied in the issue context or webhook request.
