Route clear work ownership from Confluence to GitHub
New pages and blog posts can name owners for follow-up. Use that context to keep relevant GitHub issues assigned to the right person.
Trigger
New Space Content Added
Triggers when new content (pages or blog posts) is added to a Confluence space. Attachments are not supported at space level; use the 'New Attachment Added' trigger instead.
Action
Add assignees to an issue
Adds or removes assignees for a github issue; changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Why this helps
An owner can be named in documentation while the GitHub issue remains unassigned.
- Catch new pages and blog posts added to a space.
- Assign an identified owner to a relevant issue.
- Skip assignment when the target issue or owner is unclear.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Confluence and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to find explicit owner and issue references in new content and add the named owner as an assignee only when both are clear.
- 4Pick the New Space Content Added trigger for the intended space.
- 5Choose where run reports go and test with one real page or blog post.
Questions about this workflow
Does this trigger include attachments?
No. New Space Content Added covers pages and blog posts; attachments are not supported at space level.
What if no GitHub issue is mentioned?
Tell Notis to skip the assignment when it cannot identify an existing issue and a clear assignee.
Can GitHub ignore an assignment?
Yes. The action description notes that changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Confluence to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Confluence triggers
GitHub actions
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.
New Attachment Added
Triggers when a new attachment is uploaded to a Confluence page. Optionally filters by media type.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Blog Post Added to Label
Triggers when a new blog post is added to a specific label in Confluence.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Blogpost Inline Comment Added
Triggers when a new inline comment is added to a Confluence blog post.
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.
Blog Post Like Count Changed
Triggers when a Confluence blog post's like count changes (someone likes or unlikes).
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.
Blog Post Updated
Triggers when a Confluence blog post is updated (any edit that creates a new version).
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.
Content Restrictions Changed
Triggers when view or edit restrictions change on a Confluence page or blog post. Detects user/group restrictions being added, removed, or modified.
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.
Confluence and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
