Put every Datadog incident in someone's hands
No more wondering who owns the fix after an alert fires.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
A founder sees the alert, creates a mental reminder, and still has to remember who should take the GitHub follow-up.
- Creates clear accountability
- Reduces forgotten incident work
- Keeps routing consistent during stressful moments
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Datadog and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: When a Datadog incident webhook arrives, identify the related GitHub issue and assign it to the appropriate maintainer based on the affected service.
- 4Pick an incoming webhook trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test with one representative incident.
Questions about this workflow
Can the owner be inferred from the service?
Yes. State the service-to-owner rule in the instruction and let Notis use the incident context.
Will this create a new issue?
This workflow is designed to assign an existing related issue.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Datadog to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Datadog 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.
