Start Assigned Work Without the Ramp-Up
Open the issue with a map of the repository already in hand.
Trigger
New Issue Assigned to Me
Triggers when a new issue is assigned to the authenticated user. Fires an event for each GitHub issue that is newly assigned to the authenticated user. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues are emitted. Issues can optionally be filtered by labels and state. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, creator, repository details, and timestamps.
Action
Ask question
Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response. Args: repoName: GitHub repository or list of repositories (max 10) in owner/repo format question: The question to ask about the repository
Why this helps
Assigned work can sit untouched because finding the right files and understanding old decisions takes too much activation energy.
- Shortens the time from assignment to first action
- Identifies related code and documentation
- Reduces re-reading across multiple tabs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Devin MCP to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations or ask Notis for it in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction: prepare a starting brief for each issue assigned to me, including likely implementation areas, related documentation, risks, and the first step.
- 4Pick the New Issue Assigned to Me trigger and choose the reporting channel.
- 5Test it with one assigned issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does this apply to pull requests?
No. This trigger is for true GitHub issues assigned to the authenticated user.
Can it include questions for the product owner?
Yes. Add that request to the plain-language instruction.
