Assign the next GitHub step when a contract is signed
Turn a signature milestone into a clear owner for the follow-up. Notis checks the document and assigns the GitHub issue using the details you provide.
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
Even when everyone knows an agreement is signed, the next GitHub task can remain unowned while the team works out who should act.
- Give the next step a named GitHub owner.
- Reduce the handoff from contract completion to implementation work.
- Keep the assignment tied to the document and issue identifiers in the request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BoldSign and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or by telling Notis the handoff you want.
- 3In one instruction, specify how to verify the BoldSign milestone and provide the repository, issue number, and GitHub assignee.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and arrange for an HTTP request with those identifiers to start it.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real signed document and issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook automatically identify a GitHub assignee?
No. Include the GitHub username in the request or automation instruction so Notis knows who should own the follow-up.
What if the assignee cannot be assigned in that repository?
GitHub may ignore assignment changes when the authenticated account lacks the required access. Check the run report and repository permissions.
Can one issue have more than one assignee?
The GitHub action supports adding or removing assignees. Specify the intended assignee or assignees in the automation instruction.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
