Check whether a GitHub user can take issue assignments
Check assignment eligibility from the handoff details, then include the result in the run report.
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
Choosing an owner who cannot be assigned creates extra back-and-forth when the work is ready to start.
- Catch assignment eligibility questions before the handoff stalls.
- Use the repository and username included in the request.
- Keep the result alongside the automation run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ApptiveGrid and GitHub to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to check whether the supplied user can be assigned in the supplied repository and report the result.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real user and repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does this check assign the user to an issue?
No. It checks whether the user can be assigned to issues in the repository.
What information does the request need?

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.
