Route PDF defect reports to the right GitHub issue owner
Turn a defect documented in a PDF into a clear owner and an existing GitHub issue update.
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
When defect details arrive in a document, someone still has to find the matching issue and remember to assign it.
- Use the report details to locate the relevant issue.
- Assign the teammate named in the request.
- Keep defect ownership visible in GitHub.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CloudPDF and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to find the GitHub issue matching each incoming defect report and assign the teammate explicitly named in the request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real defect report and a known issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can this choose an owner without a name in the report?
The instruction should identify an owner from information available in the request. If no owner is specified, have Notis report that it needs one instead of guessing.
Does this create a GitHub issue?
No. This workflow assigns an existing issue using the GitHub add-assignees action.

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.
