Triage bugs with scheduled calendar time
A critical bug is reported through your form or issue tracker. Notis creates a 30-minute calendar event within the next 2 hours so you batch-triage with other bugs instead of drop-everything switching.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Bugs come in sporadically and feel urgent, so you interrupt deep work to respond. Your day becomes fragmented and you never actually focus on building features.
- Batch bug triage into scheduled calendar slots instead of interrupt-driven responses
- Reduce context-switching by giving yourself permission to defer non-critical bugs to the next triage window
- Show your team when bugs will be reviewed so they stop asking for status
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar to Notis and copy your webhook URL
- 2Add the webhook URL to your issue tracker or bug report form
- 3When a bug comes in, the form/tracker automatically sends a webhook to Notis
- 4Notis creates a calendar event and you review the bug at the scheduled triage time
Questions about this workflow
What if a bug is really critical?
You can mark it as 'urgent' in your issue tracker and Notis will create a calendar event for immediate triage instead of batching.
How many bugs should I batch in one triage session?
That's up to you. You can ask Notis to group 3-5 bugs per 30-minute session, or adjust based on your team size.
Will the calendar event include bug details?
Yes. Notis will pull the bug title, description, and link from your issue tracker so you have everything in the calendar event.
