Turn review notes into GitHub issue assignments
Give Notis review notes with clear issue references and owners. Aryn finds the follow-ups, and GitHub gets the assignments.
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
People leave a review with action items, but ownership gets lost between notes and the issue tracker.
- Capture ownership while review context is fresh.
- Reduce manual transfer from notes to issues.
- Use only owners explicitly named in the source.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Aryn and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use Aryn to find issue references and explicitly named GitHub usernames, then assign those users to the referenced issues.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real set of review notes containing issue references and owners.
Questions about this workflow
What if the notes do not name an owner?
The workflow should leave that issue unassigned and report that the notes did not specify an owner.
Can any GitHub user be assigned?
GitHub may ignore assignment changes when the authenticated account lacks push access, or when a user cannot be assigned in that repository.

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.
