See whether a new stargazer is already in Affinity
A new star may come from someone already in your network. Check available person data and keep the result in a Notis report.
Trigger
New Stargazer Added
Triggers when a new user stars a GitHub repository. Emits an event for each new stargazer detected on the monitored repository.
Action
Get all persons
The affinity api offers paginated access to person data using `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. bulk extraction needs special permissions and supports multiple parameters.
Why this helps
Potentially meaningful interest can get lost in a stream of GitHub notifications, especially when relationship context sits elsewhere.
- Check available person data for a known identity.
- Make repository interest easier to review alongside relationship context.
- Get a useful no-match report when data is insufficient.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Affinity once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve Affinity person data for the stargazer only when the GitHub identity can be reliably matched.
- 4Pick the New Stargazer Added GitHub trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real new stargazer.
Questions about this workflow
Does every GitHub username match an Affinity person?
No. The match depends on identity details present in GitHub and Affinity. Have Notis report when it cannot establish a reliable match.
Will this message the stargazer?
No. It retrieves Affinity person data and reports the result; it does not send outreach.

Get all companies
Affinity api allows paginated access to company info and custom fields. use `fieldids` or `fieldtypes` to specify data in a request. retrieve field ids/types via get `/v2/companies/fields`. export permission needed.
Branch Changed

Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Get all list entries on a list
Access and export essential data and metadata for companies, persons, or opportunities from a list, specifying data via `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. "export data from lists" permission is necessary.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get all list entries on a saved view
Use the endpoint to access rows in a saved view with specific filters and selected fields from a web app. it doesn't maintain sort order, supports only sheet-type views, and requires export permissions.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Get all opportunities
Pagination through opportunities in affinity yields basic info but excludes field data. for field data, use specified get endpoints. "export data from lists" permission needed.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Get all persons
The affinity api offers paginated access to person data using `fieldids` or `fieldtypes`. bulk extraction needs special permissions and supports multiple parameters.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.

Summary: browse rows for a person in all lists, showing field data and entry metadata like creation time and author. requires "export data from lists" permission.
