Check issue assignment eligibility for assessment follow-ups
Before routing a review follow-up, check whether the named GitHub user is assignable in the repository.
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
Verifies if a github user can be assigned to issues in a repository; assignability is confirmed by an http 204 (no content) response, resulting in an empty 'data' field in the response.
Why this helps
Choosing an owner is wasted effort when GitHub will not let that person be assigned in the repository.
- Check a candidate's assignability in the relevant repository.
- Catch routing limitations early in the follow-up process.
- Use one run report to review the check result.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Classmarker and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that uses the repository and candidate username supplied in review details to check assignability.
- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and select a report channel.
- 4Test with one real candidate and repository.
Questions about this workflow

No. This action checks whether a user can be assigned in a repository. A separate listed action checks assignment to a specific issue.
Does the check assign the user?

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