Verify Who Can Take Repository Issues
Send Notis a repository and username. It checks GitHub assignability and reports the result for your follow-up.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a user can be assigned
Verifies if a github user can be assigned to issues in a repository; assignability is confirmed by an http 204 (no content) response, resulting in an empty 'data' field in the response.
Why this helps
It is hard to route work confidently when you are unsure which contributors GitHub allows you to assign.
- Confirm a user's repository-level assignability on request.
- Make issue routing decisions with less guesswork.
- Keep the check result alongside other run reports.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api labz and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create and name an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction which submitted repository and user to check for issue assignment eligibility.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real repository and username.
Questions about this workflow
Does this check refer to one specific issue?
No. It checks whether a GitHub user can be assigned to issues in a repository.
Can Notis assign the person after the check?
This workflow uses a check action only. A separate automation can use the GitHub add-assignees action when you want to make an assignment.

Recurring trigger

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Api labz and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
