Confirm issue assignment eligibility for a specific handoff
Check a named user's eligibility for the exact issue before you rely on them to take it forward.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a user can be assigned to an issue
Checks if a specified github user can be assigned to a given issue within a repository.
Why this helps
A user may be assignable in a repository generally but still need checking against the specific issue.
- Check whether a specified user can be assigned to a particular issue.
- Tie an assignment eligibility check to a research follow-up.
- Avoid confusing general repository eligibility with issue-specific eligibility.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ceramic and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to check whether the named user can be assigned to the specified issue in the repository.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real issue and username.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from a repository-level check?
This action checks whether the user can be assigned to the specific issue you identify.
Does it assign the user if eligible?

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.
