Keep competitor changes connected to product issues
Have Notis revisit competitor pages on a schedule and label a specified GitHub issue when a change is relevant to the work it tracks.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Competitor updates are easy to miss or forget to connect to the product issues they affect.
- Review competitor pages on a recurring schedule.
- Keep relevant findings connected to a designated GitHub issue.
- Use labels to surface issues that need a closer look.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Brightdata and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction which competitor pages to review and how relevant changes should affect the identified issue's labels.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real page and a designated GitHub repository and issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis decide which issue should receive a finding?
Provide the repository and issue to review in the instruction or schedule context. The automation should not guess at an issue that was not identified.
Does this compare page history automatically?
The workflow can review returned page content, but any baseline or history Brightdata does not return must be supplied or is unavailable for comparison.
Can this label an issue more than once?
Yes. Ask Notis to apply labels only when the scheduled review supports them; the GitHub action adds the requested labels to the identified issue.

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