Bring account research into GitHub issue triage

When a Bigpicture update includes a linked GitHub issue, add the labels that fit the qualification result and company research.

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

Account context can be easy to lose when it lives in research records while follow-up happens in GitHub.

  • See qualification context in the linked issue
  • Reduce manual handoff from research to engineering
  • Skip updates when the webhook has no valid issue reference

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bigpicture io and GitHub once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in Notis from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to add relevant existing labels to the linked issue using the Bigpicture qualification and research; skip if the payload lacks a repository or issue number.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real Bigpicture update that includes a GitHub repository and issue number.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a GitHub issue?

No. This workflow adds labels to an existing issue linked in the webhook payload.

What if the issue or labels are missing?

Tell Notis to skip the update and report that the issue reference or suitable label was missing. GitHub can create labels that do not already exist, so ask Notis to use existing labels when that is your intent.

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.

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

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