- Keep temporary guidance linked to the tracked issue.
- Avoid searching sent mail for the latest instructions.

- 1Connect Gmail and BugHerd once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to add a concise comment to the related BugHerd task when a sent email gives a workaround, preserving the stated steps and limitations.
- 4Pick the Email Sent trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real sent workaround email and a known task.
Questions about this workflow
Does this update the task status?
No. It records a comment with the workaround details.
Will it know whether a workaround is temporary?
It can record that when the sent email says so. Include the expected duration or limitation in the message if that context matters.
