Route Bugsnag incident follow-up to a GitHub issue owner
Send an incident to Notis and let it assign the related GitHub issue when the right owner is clear from your instructions and incident context.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
Incident follow-up can stall when nobody transfers the issue to the person who can investigate it.
- Give a linked issue a clear owner sooner.
- Reduce handoffs between monitoring and code work.
- Avoid guessing by defining when an assignee is required or known.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bugsnag and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, describe how to choose an assignee from the incident context and tell Notis to stop if the repository, issue, or eligible assignee is unclear.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real incident that identifies a GitHub issue and a valid assignee.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer an issue owner without instructions?
Set explicit owner rules in the automation prompt. The listed GitHub action adds assignees to an issue; it does not determine ownership for you.
What happens if the GitHub user cannot be assigned?
Ask Notis to report the problem and leave the issue unchanged when the target issue or assignee is uncertain.

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.
