Turn a GitHub ready-for-QA label into a build
Make one visible label the reliable handoff from release coordination to mobile QA.
Trigger
GitHub Issue Labels Changed
Triggers when the labels on a specific GitHub issue change. Fires whenever a label is added to, removed from, or has its metadata (color, description) modified on the monitored issue. The payload includes: - ``current_labels`` -- the full set of labels currently on the issue - ``added_labels`` -- labels that were newly added - ``removed_label_names`` -- names of labels that were removed - ``changed_label_names`` -- labels whose metadata changed without being added or removed
Action
Start New Build
Tool to start a new build for an application with specified workflow and branch or tag. Use when you need to trigger a build programmatically. Either branch or tag parameter must be provided.
Why this helps
A release checklist may say QA is ready while the actual test build still depends on somebody noticing the update.
- Makes the QA handoff visible and actionable
- Uses the release checklist your team already follows
- Prevents ready work from waiting unnoticed
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Codemagic to Notis once.
- 2Create a new automation conversationally or in the Notis portal.
- 3Give one instruction such as: “When ready-for-QA is added to the release checklist issue, start the Codemagic QA workflow on the release branch.”
- 4Select GitHub Issue Labels Changed, choose where Notis reports the run, and test by adding the label.
Questions about this workflow
Will other label changes trigger a build?
Not if the prompt specifies that the ready-for-QA label must be newly added.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Codemagic. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Codemagic actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Add Application from Private Repository
Tool to create an application from a private repository using SSH key authentication. Use when you need to add a new private repository to Codemagic with SSH credentials.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Add New Application
Tool to add a Git repository to the applications list in Codemagic. Use when you need to add a new application to Codemagic from a repository URL.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get Meta Information
Tool to get metadata about Codemagic including public IP addresses in use (in CIDR notation). Use when you need to retrieve IP blocks for whitelisting build machines or simulator network requests.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Get Variable Group Information
Tool to retrieve information about a specific variable group including its name and configuration settings. Use when you need to get details for a variable group by its ID.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. 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.
Update Variable Group
Tool to change a variable group's name and security settings. Use when you need to update an existing variable group by its ID. Returns success confirmation on 204 No Content response.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Delete All Application Caches
Tool to delete all caches for a specific application. Use when clearing all cached data for an app. The deletion process is asynchronous and will complete after the API response is returned.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Delete Specific Cache
Tool to delete a specific cache from an application. Use when a cached build artifact needs to be removed. The deletion is performed asynchronously and returns immediately with a 202 Accepted status.
