Give Beaconstac scan spike investigations an owner
Make sure an unexpected scan spike has someone ready to investigate it.
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 scan spike may be good news or a sign of an issue, but either way someone needs to decide what it means.
- Clarify ownership of scan investigations
- Keep response work in GitHub
- Reduce delay after an unusual campaign signal
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beaconstac and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis to find the GitHub investigation issue for a Beaconstac scan spike and assign the responsible teammate.
- 3Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one real webhook and an existing investigation issue.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create a GitHub issue for the spike?
No. This workflow assigns a matching existing issue. Use an issue creation workflow if no investigation issue exists.
How should a spike be recognized?
Specify the threshold or signal in the instruction, unless the webhook already identifies the spike.

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.
