Assign GitHub issue coverage from a PTO request
Make a clear backup plan actionable where the work lives, with PTO context checked first.
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
A PTO handoff can be agreed upon but never make it onto the issues that need an active owner.
- Connects a PTO request to issue coverage
- Uses employee absence context to guide the action
- Creates a report for the handoff
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BambooHR and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations and enter a name and prompt.
- 3Describe how to verify PTO in BambooHR, identify issues, and select the backup assignee.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger, choose where run reports go, and save the automation.
- 5Test with one real PTO coverage request and confirm the issue assignee.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook itself prove the employee is on PTO?
No. Instruct Notis to check BambooHR PTO details before assigning coverage.
Can the request include the issue list?
The HTTP request can start the automation. State the issue selection source in the prompt or request context your setup provides.

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.
Bamboohr and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
