Handle issue ownership handoffs from Basin
When responsibility shifts, submit one handoff request and keep the GitHub issue aligned.
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 handoff is not complete if the issue still points to the previous owner.
- Apply both sides of a handoff from a single request.
- Reduce follow-up to update the issue after a team change.
- See the run result in your chosen report channel.
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 give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to remove the outgoing assignee and add the incoming assignee on the issue identified in the handoff submission; request clarification if any identifier is missing.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real handoff request and inspect the issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new issue?
No. It changes assignees on the GitHub issue identified in the Basin submission.
Can it handle incomplete handoffs?
Instruct Notis to request follow-up or skip the change when the repository, issue number, or usernames are missing.

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.
