External System Assignment via Webhook to GitHub Issues
Your billing system, CRM, or internal tool identifies a GitHub issue that needs attention. Send a webhook to Notis, and it assigns the right person automatically.
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
External systems can't directly notify GitHub about assignments, requiring manual sync or custom integration work.
- Integrate any external system without custom code or integrations
- Assignments flow from wherever they originate to GitHub seamlessly
- Reduces context-switching and manual updates
- Creates a unified assignment workflow across all systems
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When I send a webhook with an issue ID and assignee name, add that person to the GitHub issue.'
- 3Copy your webhook URL from Notis.
- 4Test by sending a webhook request (e.g., from Postman or your external system) and verifying the GitHub issue is assigned.
Questions about this workflow
How do I send a webhook to Notis?
Notis provides a unique webhook URL when you set up this automation. POST a JSON request with the issue ID and assignee details.
What fields does the webhook need?
At minimum, the GitHub issue ID and assignee name or email. Your automation prompt defines the exact fields required.
Can I add multiple assignees in one webhook?
Yes. Tell Notis to accept an array of assignees and add them all.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
GitHub actions
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
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.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Task Moved to Section
Triggers when a task is moved to a section in a project.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
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.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
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.
Not just Asana and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
