Keep GitHub issue ownership aligned with upcoming Cal meetings
Before a meeting, turn its supplied context into a clear ownership update on the related GitHub issue.
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
Meeting follow-up can arrive without a clear owner, making it easy for an issue to sit untouched.
- Make ownership visible before a relevant meeting.
- Reduce manual issue updates during meeting preparation.
- Use attendee or owner details only when they are included in the supplied event context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cal and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, describe how to review the provided upcoming Cal event details and update assignees on identified GitHub issues.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example that includes event details and a matching issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can this workflow fetch Cal events on its own?
The listed Cal context provides no trigger events or fetch action. The scheduled prompt can only use Cal event details made available to it, such as in the automation context or supplied input.
What does the GitHub action change?
It adds or removes assignees for a GitHub issue. Changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Does the schedule itself identify which issues to update?
No. The prompt needs enough event details and issue context to identify a matching issue and intended assignee changes.

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.
