Notis

Run recurring contact checks for GitHub issues

Give Notis the records and issue references for a review run, then let it check the contact details and flag issues needing attention.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Add labels to an issue

Adds labels (provided in the request body) to a repository issue; labels that do not already exist are created.

Why this helps

Contact details can go stale, and a recurring review is easy to postpone when each record has to be checked by hand.

  • Run a recurring review of the contact details you provide.
  • Make issues needing attention visible with a GitHub label.
  • Send run reports to a channel your team already checks.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Addressfinder and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction to check the contact records you supply for each run and label the related issues when details need review.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real record and its related issue before relying on the schedule.

Questions about this workflow

Where does the scheduled run get records to check?

Provide the contact records and corresponding GitHub issue references for the run. The schedule itself does not discover records or list GitHub issues.

What happens to records that need attention?

Notis adds a review label to the specified GitHub issue. GitHub creates the label if needed.

Can this catch changes to contact details automatically?

It can check the records supplied for each run. It cannot detect changes in an external database unless those records are included in the run.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Addressfinder and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
