Notis

Verify proposed owners for specific GitHub issues

Check a proposed issue handoff against GitHub before it becomes another follow-up to untangle.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Check if a user can be assigned to an issue

Checks if a specified github user can be assigned to a given issue within a repository.

Why this helps

A user may be assignable in a repository generally but not for the specific issue that needs an owner.

  • Check proposed assignments for the exact issue.
  • Surface assignment constraints before a handoff.
  • Review outstanding ownership plans in batches.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Baserow and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to check whether each proposed user can be assigned to the specific GitHub issue identified in the Baserow record.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real issue and proposed user.

Questions about this workflow

How is this different from checking repository assignability?

This action checks a specified user against a specific issue. Another GitHub action checks whether a user can be assigned to issues in a repository generally.

Does it make the assignment?

No. It checks whether the user can be assigned to that issue.

What should each record include?

It needs to identify the repository, issue, and proposed GitHub user.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

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