Route GitHub issues to the right owner
Tell Notis which issue and assignee to update, and keep ownership changes out of your manual follow-up queue.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add assignees to an issue
Adds or removes assignees for a github issue; changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Why this helps
An issue without a clear owner can linger while you look up the context and update GitHub yourself.
- Update ownership from a request that already has the context
- Keep issue assignments moving
- Receive a report of the attempted update
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notis to GitHub in the portal once.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to add or remove the assignees named in each incoming request for its specified issue.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real issue and an assignable GitHub username.

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
1password and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
