Keep GitHub issue labels in step with your Algolia backlog
Search your indexed issue records, identify the matching GitHub issue, and add the labels you name in your instruction.
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
Issue triage gets scattered when useful backlog records live in Algolia but labels still need manual upkeep in GitHub.
- Apply consistent labels to issues found through an Algolia search.
- Reduce the context switching between backlog search and GitHub triage.
- Use existing issue records and labels without creating unsupported issue data.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algolia and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation; give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, say how to search the indexed issue records, identify the matching repository issue, and which labels to add.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real indexed issue and confirm the intended labels are added.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a GitHub issue?
No. The selected GitHub action adds labels to an existing issue. Your Algolia records need enough information to identify that issue.
Can I tell Notis which labels to add?
Yes. Name the labels in the automation instruction. GitHub creates labels that do not already exist.
What starts the automation?
A webhook starts it when an HTTP request is sent. Algolia does not provide a trigger event in this workflow package.

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.
