Make Datadog alerts easier to act on in GitHub
Capture the signal once, then let Notis organize the GitHub issue for you.
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
Urgent alerts arrive without enough structure, forcing founders to stop debugging and manually sort GitHub work.
- Makes incident priority visible at a glance
- Preserves service and severity context
- Cuts repetitive triage work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Datadog and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations -> New Automation, or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When a Datadog alert arrives, find the related GitHub issue and apply labels for severity, service, and incident status.
- 4Select an incoming webhook trigger and choose a channel for run reports, then test with one real alert.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis require a custom field mapping screen?
No. You describe the labeling outcome in one plain-language instruction, and Notis interprets the alert context.
What if the issue already has the labels?
Notis can safely reapply the requested labels without requiring manual sorting.

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.
