Give researched follow-up a clear GitHub owner
When recurring web research points to follow-up, have Notis assign the identified GitHub issue to the owner you specify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Useful findings can sit without an owner, leaving follow-up dependent on someone remembering to assign the issue.
- Tie a recurring research review to a named follow-up owner.
- Reduce the chance that researched work sits unassigned.
- Keep ownership visible on the GitHub issue.
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 sources to review and when to assign the identified issue to the named owner.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real research source, issue, and assignable GitHub user.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis choose an owner based on its own guess?
Name the intended GitHub user in the instruction or schedule context. The workflow should not invent ownership rules.
What if the user cannot be assigned?
GitHub can silently ignore assignment changes when the authenticated user lacks push access. Confirm repository permissions and that the user is assignable.
Does the schedule provide a comparison baseline?
Only if the source or request supplies one. Notis can analyze returned data, but unavailable page history or baselines must be provided.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Brightdata to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

GitHub actions
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.
