Keep GitHub issues connected to company news
Make company news visible where related engineering work is already tracked.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
News about a customer or market can be disconnected from the engineering work it affects.
- Bring relevant news into issue triage
- Make related engineering work easier to find
- Reduce manual context copying
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Akta and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named for tagging issues from company news.
- 3Tell Notis to interpret the incoming company news and issue details, then add labels that fit your stated triage conventions.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real news item and GitHub issue.
Questions about this workflow
What if there is no related issue?
The webhook request should include a GitHub issue to update. Notis needs the repository and issue details to use this action.
Can it create a label?
Yes. GitHub creates labels supplied in the request body if they do not already exist.

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