Add sent release updates to a Bitbucket issue
Close the loop between release emails and the issue discussion where work is tracked.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Create an issue comment
Adds a new comment with markdown support to an existing bitbucket issue.
Why this helps
A release update sent to stakeholders may never make it back to the related issue.
- Keep issue discussions current with sent updates
- Reduce manual follow-up after release emails
- Leave useful delivery context for collaborators
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 find the related Bitbucket issue for a sent release update and add a concise comment with the update.
- 4Pick Email Sent as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real release update email and its related issue.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis identify the related issue?
Include enough context in the email, such as an issue reference or clear subject, and instruct Notis how to find the relevant issue.
What happens if the email has no related issue?
Tell Notis to skip commenting when it cannot confidently identify an existing issue.
