Route conversion problems to people who can act
A named owner only helps when GitHub can actually assign the work to them.
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
Routing work to an unavailable or unassignable person creates silent delays and extra coordination.
- Catches routing failures early
- Reduces back-and-forth
- Makes incident ownership more dependable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloudconvert and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When Cloudconvert reports an issue and names a proposed GitHub owner, check whether that user can be assigned in the repository and report the result before assignment.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger, select a reporting channel, and test with one named owner.
Questions about this workflow
Does this assign the person?
No. It verifies assignability so the next routing step is based on reliable information.
What should happen if they cannot be assigned?
Tell Notis to report the exception and suggest the repository owner or another fallback.

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