Verify assignment eligibility for a specific GitHub issue
Check the exact user, repository, and issue before coordinating the handoff, then get the answer in a report.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check if a user can be assigned to an issue
Checks if a specified github user can be assigned to a given issue within a repository.
Why this helps
A general repository-level check may not answer whether a specific person can be assigned to the issue in front of you.
- Check eligibility for a particular issue
- Avoid handoff surprises during issue triage
- Send the result to a chosen run report channel
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 issue-specific eligibility check.
- 3Specify the repository, issue number, and GitHub username.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real issue and user, then confirm the report identifies the intended issue.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from checking repository assignability?
This checks whether a user can be assigned to a particular issue, rather than checking repository-level assignability generally.
Will it assign the user if eligible?
No. The action checks eligibility only.
What details are needed?
Provide the repository, issue number, and username to check.

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.
