Send location issues to the right owner

When an issue includes an address or coordinates, Notis can identify its region and add the corresponding owner as an assignee.

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

Someone has to look up each submitted location and remember who owns follow-up for that region.

  • Reduce manual location research during intake
  • Put regional follow-up on a named person's list
  • Keep location-based work visible in GitHub

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Big data cloud and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose a name and prompt.
  • 3Describe how to look up the submitted location, identify its regional owner from guidance you provide, and assign that person to the matching issue.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real issue and location, then confirm the expected person is assigned.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know the regional owner?

Include the region-to-owner guidance in your prompt or provide it in the request context. The available Big data cloud description covers geolocation and enrichment, not an owner directory.

Can the workflow create a GitHub issue?

No. This workflow uses the listed GitHub action to add assignees to an existing issue.

What if the person cannot be assigned?

GitHub may silently ignore assignment changes when the authenticated user lacks push access. Ensure the connection has suitable access and check the run report.

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.

Big data cloud and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
