Keep GitHub project issues aligned with Bonsai updates
Send a Bonsai project update to Notis and add the matching status label to its GitHub issue.
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
A project status changes in Bonsai, but the related GitHub issue keeps its old label until someone remembers to update it.
- Keep project status visible where development work happens
- Reduce manual issue maintenance
- Use existing GitHub labels to communicate progress
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bonsai and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to use each incoming Bonsai project update to find its related GitHub issue and add the matching existing status label.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real project update and confirm the intended issue and label.
Questions about this workflow
Does Bonsai provide a built-in trigger for this automation?
No Bonsai trigger event is available here. The automation starts when a request reaches its Notis webhook.
Will the automation create a missing GitHub label?
The GitHub action can create labels that do not already exist. To keep status names consistent, instruct Notis to use your existing labels.
How does Notis know which issue belongs to a project?
Include a GitHub issue reference in the request or tell Notis how to identify the related issue from the available project details.

Recurring trigger

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.
