Create prep issues from new calendar events
Give every important event a clear preparation plan.
Trigger
New Calendar Event
Triggered when a new calendar event is created in the Outlook calendar.
Action
Create an issue
Creates a new issue in a bitbucket repository, setting the authenticated user as reporter; ensures assignee (if provided) has repository access, and that any specified milestone, version, or component ids exist.
Why this helps
Meetings and launches get scheduled without anyone owning the engineering preparation.
- Surface preparation work early
- Clarify ownership and outcomes
- Reduce last minute scrambling

- 3Tell Notis to create a preparation issue only for events that require engineering input, with checklist style acceptance notes.
- 4Pick New Calendar Event as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one upcoming launch or technical review.
