Keep scope decisions with the task
Record what was agreed in your sent follow-up where teammates can find it later.
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 Comment
Tool to add a new comment to a task. use when you need to record discussion or feedback on an existing task.
Why this helps
Scope decisions can be buried in a thread and reopened because the task has no decision record.
- Keep decisions connected to affected work.
- Reduce repeated clarification about agreed scope.
- Make explicit tradeoffs easier to find later.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and BugHerd once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to comment on the related BugHerd task when a sent email makes a clear scope decision, preserving the decision and any stated rationale.
- 4Pick the Email Sent trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one sent decision email and a known task.
Questions about this workflow
Will it decide what the scope should be?
No. It records decisions stated in the message so the team can find them.
Can it handle more than one task in an email?
Include a clear matching instruction. If the message affects several tasks, ask Notis to report or handle each only when the links are unambiguous.
