Turn Basin assignment requests into GitHub updates
Put issue assignment changes into a short request form and let Notis handle the handoff.
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
Assignment requests often get lost between a form response and the issue tracker.
- Cut down on manual issue updates.
- Keep the requested repository, issue number, and usernames in one submission.
- Route incomplete requests for follow-up rather than guessing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basin and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to read each assignment request and apply the requested assignee additions or removals to the specified GitHub issue, skipping changes when the required details are absent.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real request and check the issue in GitHub.
Questions about this workflow
What details does the request need?
The submission should identify the repository owner and name, issue number, and GitHub usernames to add or remove.
What if the account cannot assign someone?
GitHub may ignore changes when the authenticated account lacks push access, or the request may fail. Review the run report for the result.

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.
