Notis

Catch GitHub issues that need an owner

Describe what an unowned or misrouted issue looks like and who should take it, then schedule a review.

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

An issue without a clear owner can wait unnoticed while everyone assumes someone else will pick it up.

  • Surface and address assignment gaps on a schedule.
  • Use your team's owner criteria in a plain language instruction.
  • Add assignees to keep eligible work moving.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Celigo and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Describe which issues need owners and how to choose assignees in one instruction.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example and confirm the report.

Questions about this workflow

Can the automation know which teammate has capacity?

Capacity may not be available in GitHub issue details. Provide the capacity context or assignment baseline that your rule depends on.

What if the assignee cannot be assigned to the repository?

GitHub may silently ignore assignee changes if the authenticated user lacks push access. Test with an issue where the account has the needed access.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Celigo and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
