Carry transcript ownership into GitHub issue assignees
When a call assigns clear ownership for an existing issue, let Notis update its assignees from the finalized transcript. Include the repository and issue number if needed.
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
Follow-up owners get named on calls but never make it onto the GitHub issue.
- Keep issue ownership aligned with clear call commitments.
- Reduce the gap between discussion and follow-up.
- Make ownership easier to review in GitHub.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Castingwords and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify an existing GitHub issue and update its assignees only when the transcript clearly names an owner; provide the repository and issue number if needed.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real transcript that includes a clear owner and verify the issue assignees.
Questions about this workflow
Will it assign someone based on a vague discussion?
Your instruction should tell Notis to change assignees only when ownership is explicit and the intended GitHub user can be identified.
Does this create an issue for a new action item?
No. The available GitHub action updates assignees on an existing issue.
What if the transcript does not identify the issue?
Include the repository and issue number in the webhook request or automation instruction so Notis can target the right issue.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Castingwords to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Castingwords triggers
GitHub actions
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.
