Put device alert issues in the right hands
When an alert arrives, update the assignees on the issue already tracking the incident.
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 device incident can sit without an owner while someone manually connects the alert to the right GitHub issue.
- Gets a linked incident issue in front of its intended responders.
- Cuts the handoff between a device alert and GitHub.
- Keeps ownership updates attached to the tracking issue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to update assignees on the GitHub issue referenced by each device alert.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real alert containing a repository, issue number, and GitHub usernames.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow create a new issue?
No. The available GitHub action updates assignees on an existing issue, so the alert must refer to an issue that already exists.
What if a username cannot be assigned?
GitHub may ignore assignee changes when the authenticated account lacks push access. Include valid, assignable usernames in the alert.

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Adafruit IO and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
