Make GitHub Notifications Actionable
Know which threads deserve attention without opening them all.
Trigger
Repository Notification Received
Triggers when a new or newly updated notification thread appears for a specific GitHub repository. Monitors notifications for issues, pull requests, commits, releases, check suites, security alerts, and other repository activity. Supports filtering by read/unread status and by direct participation. Requires a Personal Access Token (classic) with the ``notifications``
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
Notification streams mix urgent decisions, background activity, and low-value updates in one distracting queue.
- Separates action from awareness
- Reduces inbox-style checking
- Keeps important threads from being buried
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Devin MCP to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction: summarize each new repository notification thread, explain the context, and state whether I need to act, delegate, or ignore it.
- 4Select the Repository Notification Received trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test it with one real notification thread.
Questions about this workflow
Can it include only direct participation?
Yes. Configure the GitHub notification trigger for direct participation if that is the desired scope.
Does it mark notifications as read?
No. It provides a decision-focused summary.

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.
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.
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.
