Keep volunteer requests moving automatically
Give every incoming request a clear owner before it becomes another open browser tab.
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
Requests arrive through fundraising operations while the product team works in GitHub, so ownership gets lost between contexts.
- Reduce manual triage
- Make ownership visible immediately
- Prevent event tasks from being forgotten
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackbaud and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to assign the matching GitHub issue to the responsible contributor when a Blackbaud volunteer request arrives.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and select where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test it with one real volunteer request.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis require field mapping?
No. You describe how to match and assign the work in one plain-language instruction.
Can I review the first assignment?
Yes. Send run reports to your preferred channel and test with one real example.

Blackbaud triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
