Triage nutrition data requests with GitHub labels
When a food or nutrition request arrives, Notis can look up the item with Api Ninjas and label the GitHub issue that tracks it.
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
Nutrition requests often need a lookup and a manual label before they are easy to route or find again.
- Attaches useful organization to nutrition-related issues as they arrive.
- Uses the food item provided with the request for a lookup.
- Keeps the resulting triage label on the tracked issue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api Ninjas and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe the food item lookup, matching GitHub issue, and label to add in one instruction.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real food item and a matching issue.
Questions about this workflow
What must the request include?
Include the food item and enough context to locate its GitHub repository and issue.
Does Api Ninjas update the GitHub issue directly?
No. Notis uses Api Ninjas for the lookup and the selected GitHub action adds the label.
Can the action create a missing label?
Yes. GitHub's add-labels action creates labels that do not already exist.

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.
