Keep job task owners connected to their GitHub issues
Turn a task owner update into a GitHub issue assignment, so the next person responsible is clear in both places.
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
A job task changes hands, but its related GitHub issue still points to the previous owner or nobody at all.
- Keep GitHub issue ownership aligned with job task updates.
- Reduce manual follow-up after responsibility changes.
- Use the webhook payload to identify the issue and assignee.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuLynx and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2In Automations, create an automation and describe: assign the linked GitHub issue to the supplied GitHub username when an AccuLynx task update identifies both.
- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and send it the AccuLynx task update.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task update that includes a valid GitHub repository, issue number, and assignable username.
Questions about this workflow
Does AccuLynx provide a built-in trigger for this workflow?
No. Start it with a Notis webhook and send the relevant AccuLynx task update in the request.
What information does the webhook need?
Include enough context to identify the GitHub repository, issue number, and GitHub username. The user must be assignable in that repository.
What happens if the user cannot be assigned?
GitHub may reject or ignore the assignment. Check the Notis run report and confirm repository access and assignability.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
