Notis

See Cats portal details alongside new GitHub issues

New issue arrives, and Notis fetches the Cats portal list so relevant product context is easier to review during triage.

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

Get Portals

Tool to list all portals. use when you need to browse portal metadata with pagination after authentication.

Why this helps

Issue triage often spans repositories and product tools, making it easy to lose time gathering context.

  • Review available portals while triaging an issue
  • Reduce repeated portal lookups
  • Keep issue follow-up in a single run report

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Cats once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose New Automation.
  • 3Tell Notis to fetch and summarize Cats portal details when an issue is created.
  • 4Pick the New Issue Created trigger.
  • 5Choose where run reports go and test with one real issue.

Questions about this workflow

Will this add the portal list to the GitHub issue?

No. It fetches portal metadata and reports it through the automation run channel.

Can the trigger filter which issues start the automation?

The GitHub event may support issue filters, but the Notis automation uses the event as configured in its trigger selection.
