Notis

Put a clear owner on GitHub issues

When Cody helps identify the next owner, use a Notis webhook to update the issue assignees without switching into GitHub.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Add assignees to an issue

Assign users to an issue.

Why this helps

A finding can be understood and still stall when nobody updates the issue owner.

  • Make ownership part of the handoff.
  • Add or remove assignees based on the request.
  • Keep the issue update in GitHub.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Cody and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation with an instruction to update assignees on the supplied GitHub issue based on the handoff.
  • 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 4Test with one real issue and verify the assignee change.

Questions about this workflow

Can this check whether a person is assignable first?

This workflow uses the add assignees action directly. A separate GitHub action can check whether a user can be assigned, but this package does not chain actions.

What if the authenticated user lacks push access?

The action description says assignee changes can be silently ignored when the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
