Notis

Apply issue labels from Basin submissions

Make a labeling request once in Basin and have Notis carry it to the specified GitHub issue.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Add labels to an issue

Adds labels (provided in the request body) to a repository issue; labels that do not already exist are created.

Why this helps

Small triage updates are easy to forget when they require a separate GitHub visit.

  • Turn a structured request into an issue update.
  • Labels that do not yet exist can be created by the GitHub action.
  • Keep triage requests out of scattered chat threads.

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 add the submitted labels to the specified GitHub issue, and to request missing repository or issue details instead of guessing.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and set a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real request and confirm the labels on the issue.

Questions about this workflow

Do the labels need to exist first?

The GitHub action can create labels that do not already exist.

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.

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