Confirm GitHub ownership before routing work
Make the next owner a real option before you spend energy coordinating the handoff.
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
Verifies if a github user can be assigned to issues in a repository; assignability is confirmed by an http 204 (no content) response, resulting in an empty 'data' field in the response.
Why this helps
Work gets routed based on assumptions about repository access or assignment eligibility.
- Reduces invalid assignments
- Makes staffing decisions more reliable
- Cuts coordination overhead
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Docparser and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis what to do in conversation.
- 3Use one instruction: verify whether the user named in each parsed staffing record can be assigned in the specified GitHub repository and report the result.
- 4Select the incoming webhook trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test with one staffing record.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from checking an issue?
This checks repository-level assignability before a specific issue assignment is attempted.
Can it validate several records at once?
Yes. The instruction can ask Notis to process each eligible parsed record in the incoming request.

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.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Docparser and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
