Bring stalled alt text issues back to an owner
Set a routine check for selected open issues and give lingering image accessibility tasks a clear next owner.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Open accessibility fixes can lose momentum when the original assignee is unavailable or the next owner is unclear.
- Renews ownership for selected open issues
- Creates a repeatable follow-up habit
- Reduces time spent locating stalled tasks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AltTextLab and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe which open issues qualify and identify the user who should own follow-up.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real issue and confirm the reassignment is correct.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis determine whether an issue is stale?
Only if the necessary dates or status information are available in returned data, or you define a concrete rule and provide any missing baseline in your instruction.
Will this change issues outside my intended scope?
State the repository and issue criteria clearly in the instruction, and test against one real example before relying on the schedule.

Notis builds workflows that link AltTextLab to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
AltTextLab triggers
GitHub actions
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.
