Check issue assignment eligibility after a Browseai signal
Let Notis verify a handoff detail prompted by a web signal and deliver the result without changing issue assignments.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a user can be assigned
Verifies if a github user can be assigned to issues in a repository; assignability is confirmed by an http 204 (no content) response, resulting in an empty 'data' field in the response.
Why this helps
A fast-moving signal can lead to a handoff, and discovering assignment restrictions at the last moment creates extra coordination.
- Run the check when an HTTP request arrives
- Verify the named user against the named repository
- Keep the action read-only and report the result
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Browseai and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, then name it and describe the eligibility check.
- 3Tell Notis to use the incoming request context to identify a username and repository.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm it checks the intended user and repository.
Questions about this workflow
Is the Browseai signal itself an event trigger?
No Browseai trigger event is included in the allowed list. A Notis webhook starts the automation when it receives an HTTP request.
Does this confirm assignability for a particular issue?
No. It checks assignability for repository issues generally. Use an issue-specific check if you need to verify a named issue.
Does Notis assign the user after the check?
No. This action only verifies whether the user can be assigned.

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.
