Check GitHub assignment access for a Bugherd report
Check repository-level assignability when a report needs an owner but has no issue number.
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
You may know the repository and proposed owner but still need to verify whether GitHub allows the assignment.
- Check assignability at repository level.
- Avoid treating a suggested owner as confirmed.
- Report the result alongside the incoming report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bugherd and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis with a name and prompt.
- 3Describe how to check the specified GitHub user's assignability in the report's repository.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a report that includes the repository and exact GitHub username.
Questions about this workflow
Does this verify assignment to a particular issue?
No. It checks whether the user can be assigned in the repository; use an issue-specific check when an issue number is available.
Will it add the user as an assignee?
No. This workflow only checks assignability.

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.
