Keep request owners attached to GitHub issues
Give unassigned follow-up a routine check, guided by the owner each request names.
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
Requests can sit in a form response even when someone has already agreed to own the GitHub follow-up.
- Reduce forgotten ownership handoffs
- Use a regular review instead of ad hoc checking
- Skip issues without a named, eligible assignee
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cabinpanda and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review new responses since its last run, find linked GitHub issues, and assign the named eligible owner.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real submission that identifies an issue and an eligible owner.
Questions about this workflow
Will it choose an owner if the form does not name one?
No. Instruct Notis to leave the issue unchanged and report that the response lacks an owner.
Can the same issue be assigned repeatedly?
Ask Notis to check the current issue state and skip it when the requested owner is already 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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
