Keep important issue context from getting buried

Good decisions should survive the thread they were written in.

Trigger

New GitHub Issue Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specific GitHub issue. Only genuinely new comments are emitted; edits to existing comments do not produce duplicate events. The payload includes the comment ID, text body, author details, timestamps, and direct links to the comment on GitHub.

Action

Store Data in Dataset

Tool to store data items in a dataset. use after collecting data when you want to batch-append or update items in an existing dataset.

Why this helps

Useful customer and team context gets buried in long issue discussions and becomes hard to retrieve.

  • Preserves high-value discussion context
  • Creates a searchable external record
  • Reduces repeated questions

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Apify once via the Notis portal.
  • 2Create the automation with an instruction to store each new GitHub issue comment, with its surrounding issue context, in a named Apify dataset.
  • 3Select New GitHub Issue Comment as the trigger.
  • 4Choose the reporting channel and test with one useful comment.

Questions about this workflow

Can I archive only decision comments?

Yes. Tell Notis to store comments that contain decisions, evidence, customer details, or next steps.

Does this edit GitHub?

No. It preserves information in Apify.
