Turn selected GitHub issues into Close leads
When a new issue is an inbound opportunity, put it into Close for a deliberate qualification follow-up.
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
Create Lead
This tool creates a new lead in close crm. it allows users to create a lead with basic company information and optional contact details, including company name, description, website url, lead status, contacts, and addresses. it operates by sending a request to the api endpoint /lead/ on the close crm platform.
Why this helps
Potential customer requests in GitHub can be separated from the sales follow-up needed to respond.
- Put qualifying inbound requests into the sales workflow.
- Keep the issue link and description available for review.
- Reduce repeated copying of customer context.

- 3Tell Notis which new GitHub issues count as inbound opportunities and to create a Close lead with available requester and issue context.
- 4Pick the GitHub New Issue Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real qualifying issue and review the created lead.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new issue become a lead?
The automation instruction should define which issues represent inbound opportunities. The trigger supports filtering, but users pick the trigger and do not configure field mappings.
Can the issue creator's email be added as a contact?
Only if an email address is available in the data Notis receives. GitHub issue creator details may not include a usable email.
