Keep research-linked GitHub issues organized
Set a recurring review for the Are.na references and GitHub issues you identify. Notis can apply labels that make the follow-up easier to spot.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Issue labels can stop reflecting the research behind the work as new references arrive.
- Create a regular moment to reconnect research and active issues.
- Keep issue triage labels relevant as context changes.
- Avoid relying on memory to revisit older research.
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 name the recurring review.
- 3In one instruction, identify the Are.na material and GitHub issues to review and describe when labels should be added.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real research reference and issue before relying on the schedule.
Questions about this workflow
Can the schedule discover every relevant Are.na item automatically?
Are.na trigger events are not available. Specify the channel or material Notis should review, and confirm the connection exposes the context needed for the scheduled run.
What action does GitHub perform?
The selected GitHub action adds labels to a repository issue and creates labels if they do not already exist.
Can it remove labels that no longer fit?
The listed action adds labels. It does not remove labels, so describe an additive labeling rule.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Are.na to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Are.na triggers
GitHub actions
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.
