Turn email commitments into Jira work
Keep promises from disappearing into your inbox by turning clear commitments into Jira issues with a useful next step.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Create Issue
Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.
Why this helps
A founder agrees to follow up by email, then the commitment gets buried under the next wave of messages.
- Make promised follow-up visible alongside other work.
- Reduce the need to remember what was agreed by email.
- Capture enough context to act without rereading the full thread.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Jira task when a new email contains an explicit commitment or follow-up for you.
- 4Choose the Outlook New Outlook Message trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real commitment email and check that the next step is clear.
Questions about this workflow
Does this read sent commitments too?
No. The selected trigger is for new received messages. Use the New Sent Message trigger for commitments in emails you send.
How can I keep the Jira task actionable?
Ask Notis to express the commitment as a concise action and include the relevant person, subject, and timing when present.
Will vague mentions create tasks?
Tell Notis to create tasks only for explicit promises or follow-ups, and to report ambiguous cases for review.
