Keep issue ownership covered during PTO
Give your team a way to see and share issue coverage before a planned absence begins.
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
Important GitHub issues can stall when their owner is away and the backup plan lives in someone's head.
- Makes planned coverage visible in GitHub
- Reduces manual issue reassignment follow-up
- Keeps the original owner assigned unless your prompt says otherwise
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BambooHR and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations and enter its name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis how to identify the absent employee's issues and the backup assignee for each case.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, choose where run reports go, and save the automation.
- 5Test with one real PTO record and a suitable issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does BambooHR provide the backup person's GitHub username?
Not necessarily. Supply a coverage rule or username source in your prompt if the PTO record does not contain it.
Will this replace the original issue owner?
The action adds or removes assignees. Specify whether to retain the original assignee while adding coverage.

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.
