Keep CommCare data issues visible in GitHub

Send a CommCare problem to Notis and keep the engineering follow-up easy to spot.

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

Data-quality concerns get mentioned in chat, then disappear before anyone investigates.

  • Makes incoming data concerns visible in the engineering queue
  • Creates a consistent triage signal for the team
  • Reduces memory work after field operations

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect CommCare and GitHub to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create one in plain language.
  • 3Tell Notis to label the matching GitHub issue when a CommCare data concern arrives.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test it with one real CommCare concern.

Questions about this workflow

Can the CommCare message include context?

Yes. Tell Notis to use the incoming context when identifying the matching GitHub issue and applying the label.

Do I need to create field mappings?

No. The automation uses one plain-language instruction.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.
