Triggers when a new issue is assigned to you.
Action
Ask question
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.
