Verify the person can take the CommCare issue
A quick eligibility check keeps urgent operational work from landing in a dead end.
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 to an issue
Checks if a specified github user can be assigned to a given issue within a repository.
Why this helps
The founder discovers too late that a proposed owner cannot receive the GitHub issue.
- Improves first-time routing success
- Protects urgent field-related work from delays
- Cuts correction loops
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CommCare and GitHub to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Describe in plain language how Notis should check whether the proposed user can be assigned to the matching GitHub issue.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook and a reporting channel.
- 5Test with one CommCare escalation.
Questions about this workflow
Is this different from checking general assignability?

CommCare triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
