- 3Tell Notis to create a BugHerd task when an incoming email contains actionable reproduction steps, preserving the steps and reported outcome.

- 5Test with one real email containing reproduction steps.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis infer missing reproduction steps?
Notis can summarize the details provided, but missing steps should be supplied by the sender or called out for follow-up.
Can it create tasks from other issue reports too?
Yes. Adjust the instruction to include other report types and explain which details should be included.
