Create branches from approved email requests
Turn an approved request into a ready starting point.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Create a branch
Creates a new branch in a bitbucket repository from a target commit hash; the branch name must be unique, adhere to bitbucket's naming conventions, and not include the 'refs/heads/' prefix.
Why this helps
Small approved tasks wait while someone manually creates a branch and names it.
- Shorten task kickoff time
- Use consistent branch names
- Reduce forgotten setup steps
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Bitbucket once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Email request to feature branch.
- 3Tell Notis to create a branch only for explicitly approved implementation requests, using the referenced repository and target commit details.
- 4Pick New Outlook Message as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one approved request that includes repository context.
Questions about this workflow
What if the target commit is missing?
Notis can report the missing commit instead of creating an unsafe branch.
Can it create branches for every email?
Use an instruction that requires explicit approval language and a clear repository reference.
