Create GitHub issues from CloudPDF review requests
Put each document review request where your team already tracks work, with the PDF context ready to act on.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add labels to an issue
Adds labels (provided in the request body) to a repository issue; labels that do not already exist are created.
Why this helps
PDF review requests can sit in inboxes or chat while the related work never reaches the issue tracker.
- Capture requested work in GitHub as it arrives.
- Include the PDF reference and a concise request summary.
- Reduce manual copying between document and issue workflows.
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 summarize each incoming PDF review request and create a GitHub issue with the document reference and requested work.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real review request.
Questions about this workflow
Does CloudPDF start this workflow directly?
CloudPDF trigger events are not available here. A Notis webhook starts the workflow when you send it a request containing the PDF context.
Will Notis create a new label?
GitHub's add-label action can create labels that do not already exist. Tell Notis which label to apply, or leave labels out of the instruction.

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.
