Keep issue activity visible without checking GitHub
Let meaningful issue changes reach the task record your team uses for coordination.
Trigger
New Issue Event
Triggers when a new issue event occurs in a GitHub repository. Covers all issue timeline events such as issues being closed, reopened, assigned, unassigned, labeled, unlabeled, milestoned, demilestoned, renamed, locked, or unlocked. Events can optionally be filtered by type. The payload includes the event type, timestamp, the actor who triggered the event, the affected issue details, and any associated commit references.
Action
Create Comment
Tool to add a new comment to a task. use when you need to record discussion or feedback on an existing task.
Why this helps
People miss reassignment, closure, and priority changes when updates are spread across timelines.
- Reduces repeated checking
- Preserves timeline changes
- Makes ownership shifts visible
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Bugherd to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Say: “When a GitHub issue event occurs, add a Bugherd comment describing the event, affected issue, actor, and link.”
- 4Choose New Issue Event, select run-report delivery, and test with one issue update.
