Notis

Turn Bolt IoT fault alerts into labeled GitHub issues

Make a device fault visible in the issue queue without stopping to update GitHub by hand.

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

Device alerts arrive while you are focused elsewhere, and the matching issue can remain hard to spot.

  • Make the related issue easier to find during incident response.
  • Reduce manual triage after a sensor alert.
  • Keep the alert linked to an existing issue supplied in the request.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bolt IoT and GitHub once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to add an incident label to the existing GitHub issue identified in each Bolt IoT fault alert.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real fault alert that includes the repository and issue reference.

Questions about this workflow

Does this create a GitHub issue?

No. The available GitHub action adds labels to an existing issue, so the webhook must identify an issue.

Can Notis choose a label that does not exist yet?

GitHub creates labels that do not already exist when this action adds them.

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.

Bolt iot and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
