Start a browser session for GitHub issues assigned to you
Make new ownership visible and actionable without losing your current place.
Trigger
New Issue Assigned to Me
Triggers when a new issue is assigned to the authenticated user. Fires an event for each GitHub issue that is newly assigned to the authenticated user. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues are emitted. Issues can optionally be filtered by labels and state. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, creator, repository details, and timestamps.
Action
Start Browser Session
Tool to start a new browser session with optional customizations. use when you need to programmatically allocate an isolated browser instance with recording, proxy, live view, and feature toggles.
Why this helps
Assigned issues can be acknowledged mentally but never turned into a concrete next action.
- Creates a deliberate triage moment
- Keeps issue investigation separate from other work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Anchor browser through the portal.
- 2Add a new automation with a single instruction to start a browser session for each issue newly assigned to you.
- 3Pick the assigned-issue trigger, set a channel for run reports, and test by assigning a sample issue.
