Update Bitbucket issue priority from an emailed decision
Carry a clear decision from the inbox into the issue it affects.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Update an issue
Updates an existing issue in a bitbucket repository by modifying specified attributes; requires `workspace`, `repo slug`, `issue id`, and at least one attribute to update.
Why this helps
Priority decisions made over email can leave the backlog showing outdated information.
- Keep issue details aligned with decisions in email
- Reduce manual backlog maintenance
- Make priority changes easier to trace
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Bitbucket once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify explicit priority decisions in new emails and update the matching issue when the decision is clear.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real email containing a priority decision and its existing issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can it update any issue attribute?
The Bitbucket action updates specified attributes. Ask Notis to change only an attribute supported by the action and clearly present in the decision.
What if the decision is ambiguous?
Tell Notis to skip the update if the issue or intended change is unclear.
