Keep open issues moving after someone leaves
Make sure work does not lose an owner when an employee departs.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Open issues can sit unattended after a departure because the reassignment is disconnected from offboarding.
- Finds work that needs a new owner
- Reduces manual offboarding searches
- Creates an issue reassignment report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BambooHR and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a named automation from Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe qualifying departure records, the issue search rules, and the replacement or triage assignee.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, choose where run reports go, and save the automation.
- 5Test with one real departure and a matching open issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer who should own the issues?
Provide a successor rule or a designated triage assignee. BambooHR records may not include GitHub issue ownership decisions.
Will it remove the departing employee from every issue?
The prompt should define which repositories and open issues to review. The action only changes assignees on the issues selected.

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.
