Put a named hiring owner on the GitHub issue
Make the next owner visible on the GitHub issue as soon as the hiring handoff reaches Notis.
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
When an interview or hiring task has no visible owner in GitHub, follow-up can fall between teams.
- Make ownership visible on the related GitHub issue.
- Use the user named in the Ashby update to handle the handoff.
- Reduce manual follow-up between recruiting and engineering.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ashby and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to assign the specified hiring owner to the related GitHub issue when the Ashby update arrives.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real update and verify the GitHub username and issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does this detect interviewer assignments inside Ashby automatically?
No Ashby trigger events are available here. Start it with a Notis webhook request that includes the relevant assignment update.
What details does the action need?
The GitHub repository, issue number, and username to assign must be present or clearly specified. GitHub may silently ignore the change if the authenticated user lacks push access.
Can the action remove assignees too?
The action supports adding or removing issue assignees. This workflow uses it to add the supplied hiring owner.

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.
