Research new GitHub issues before they become context switches
A new issue should come with context, not another scavenger hunt.
Trigger
New Issue Created
Triggers when a new issue is created in a GitHub repository. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues produce events. Results can be filtered by labels, assignee, creator, and mentioned user. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, comment count, creator details, timestamps, and direct links to the issue on GitHub.
Action
Run Actor Asynchronously
Tool to run a specific actor asynchronously. use when you need to trigger an actor run without waiting for completion and retrieve its run details immediately.
Why this helps
Founders lose momentum searching the web for background on every incoming issue.
- Adds web context to new issues quickly
- Reduces investigation startup time
- Keeps customer follow-up moving
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Apify to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis: When a customer-facing GitHub issue is created, launch the Apify research Actor for its topic and return the run link and findings.
- 3Select the New Issue Created GitHub trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should report run results, then test with one real issue.
Questions about this workflow
What does Apify research?
Your plain-language instruction tells Notis which Apify Actor to launch and what context to gather for the issue.
Do I need to configure field mappings?
No. Notis interprets the issue details from your instruction and passes the relevant context to Apify.

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 Actor Details
Tool to get details of a specific actor. use when you need actor metadata by id or username/actorname.
