Stay oriented when issue scope changes
When the request changes, your next step should not depend on memory.
Trigger
Issue State / Properties Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub issue changes any of its tracked properties. Monitored properties: state (open/closed), state_reason, title, body, assignees, labels, milestone, lock status, active_lock_reason, comment count, and closed_at timestamp. When a change is detected, the payload includes the full current issue details, the list of changed field names, and their previous values.
Action
Webview send response
Tool to send data from the webview back to the botstar chatbot. use when you need to transmit responses or custom outputs from an open webview.
Why this helps
Issue edits can change scope or ownership quietly, causing duplicated effort or work that no longer matches the need.
- Surface what changed and what it used to say.
- Support quick re-triage when scope or ownership shifts.
- Reduce re-reading and context reconstruction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Botstar to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to send changed issue properties to Botstar with a re-triage prompt.
- 3Pick the Issue State / Properties Changed trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one issue title, assignee, or milestone change.
