Lesson 9 - Automate issue triage

Create and run a weekly automation that summarizes recent open issues.

Use an automation to turn a recurring issue-triage task into a scheduled agent workflow.

In this lesson, you will:

  • create a weekly automation.
  • connect the automation to the Space Quiz project.
  • run the automation immediately and review its result.

Create the automation

Illustration of the Copilot app Automations view with All, Local, and Cloud filters, a search box, Templates and New automation buttons, and two weekly automation cards for the space-quiz project: Issue triage and Accessibility audit.

Automations run the same prompt on a schedule, each in its own session, so an automation never disturbs your work. You can filter by All, Local, or Cloud, and run any automation on demand.

  1. Open Automations.

  2. Choose the template for a new weekly automation.

  3. Enter the following prompt:

    Review the latest GitHub issues created and still open in the last week, and provide a summary table ranked by severity and priority.

  4. Set the session mode to Autopilot.

  5. Set the model to Auto.

  6. Select the space-quiz project.

  7. Open the Create dropdown, then select Create and run.

Review the generated summary and confirm that it references the recent open issues in your repository.
