Turn a Marvin follow-up into a clear GitHub assignment
If your next step is to put an issue in someone's hands, send the relevant Marvin task to Notis and update the GitHub issue's assignee.
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
Follow-up tasks can linger because assigning the matching issue requires finding it and repeating the context in GitHub.
- Carry the owner decision from planning into the issue
- Reduce forgotten assignment follow-ups
- Keep the automation prompt explicit about when to add or remove assignees
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Amazing Marvin and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with an instruction for interpreting assignment tasks and identifying the issue and assignee.
- 3Choose the Notis webhook trigger and include the repository, issue number, and intended assignee in the request.
- 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real task and issue.
Questions about this workflow
Will this trigger from a change in Amazing Marvin?
No Amazing Marvin trigger events are available here. Start the automation with a Notis webhook request containing the task details.
What if I need to remove an assignee?
The GitHub action supports adding or removing assignees. State the intended change clearly in the task context and automation instruction.
What if the authenticated GitHub user cannot update the issue?
GitHub may silently ignore assignee changes when that user lacks push access to the repository. Review the run report and repository access.

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.
