Assign GitHub issues from Appdrag support requests
Send the issue details with an Appdrag request and let Notis handle the assignment.
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
Support requests can stall when someone has to carry the issue number and owner from one system to another.
- Reduces manual handoffs between support and engineering.
- Keeps ownership changes tied to the incoming request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appdrag and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe that incoming support requests should assign the specified GitHub issue to the named GitHub user.
- 3Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Send one real request with the repository, issue number, and GitHub username to test the assignment.
Questions about this workflow
What must the request include?
Include a repository owner and name, issue number, and the GitHub username to assign. GitHub may ignore the change if the authenticated account lacks push access.
Does this create an issue?
No. This action adds or removes assignees on an existing GitHub issue.

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