Process Email Requests in Bulk
You get 5 emails in the morning, each requesting something different. Instead of creating 5 issues one at a time, this automation collects them and bulk-creates all of them at once, so you batch the friction.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Bulk Create Issues
Creates multiple jira issues (up to 50 per call) with full feature support including markdown, assignee resolution, and priority handling.
Why this helps
Multiple emails requesting different things force you to create issues one at a time, each creation interrupting your focus and multiplying the friction of getting work into your system.
- Batch email requests into one bulk-create operation
- Reduce repetitive friction of creating many issues manually
- Process multiple requests more efficiently
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Jira to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'Collect up to 10 emails from me each hour, batch them, and create up to 10 Jira issues at once.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'Notis Cron' (hourly) or use a webhook to trigger manually when you're ready to batch.
- 4Test by letting emails accumulate and triggering the batch creation when you're ready.
Questions about this workflow
How many issues can be bulk-created at once?
Jira allows up to 50 per batch, so Notis can handle substantial waves of requests.
What if one issue in the batch has an error?
Notis creates the valid ones and reports which ones failed, then you can retry.
Can I review before bulk-creating?
Yes, Notis can send you a preview and wait for your go-ahead before creating all issues.
