Connect Are.na research to GitHub issue labels
Share a research link and issue reference when context is fresh. Notis reads the supplied material and labels the right GitHub issue.
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
Useful research can sit in an Are.na channel while the related GitHub issue stays hard to find or sort.
- Keep research connected to the issue it informs.
- Make issues easier to triage with relevant labels.
- Skip switching between idea collection and GitHub to add labels manually.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Are.na and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to use the supplied Are.na material and GitHub issue reference to apply relevant labels to that issue.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Are.na reference and GitHub issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does Are.na start this workflow automatically?
Are.na triggers are not available for this package. A Notis webhook starts the workflow when it receives an HTTP request with the research context and issue reference.
Can this create labels?
The GitHub action adds labels to an issue and creates labels that do not already exist.
What should I include in the request?
Include the Are.na block or channel context and the GitHub repository and issue reference so Notis can identify what to review and update.

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.
