Keep email questions moving by sending the right context to Devin automatically.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Ask question
Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response. Args: repoName: GitHub repository or list of repositories (max 10) in owner/repo format question: The question to ask about the repository
Why this helps
Repository questions buried in an inbox create context switching and slow technical decisions.
- Reduces manual copy and paste from email
- Keeps answers grounded in selected repositories
- Creates a repeatable response path for technical requests
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Devin MCP in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named for incoming repository questions.
- 3Tell Notis to extract the repository question and any owner/repo names from each new message, then ask Devin for a concise, cited answer.
- 4Pick New Outlook Message as the trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real technical email.
