Look for indexed context when a GitHub issue is created
Give new issues a quick context check against the records your team already indexes.
Trigger
New Issue Created
Triggers when a new issue is created in a repository.
Action
Query Index
Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.
Why this helps
Issue triage slows down when someone must search separate systems for prior incidents or related records.
- Surface possible related records during issue triage.
- Spend less time repeating manual searches.
- Make missing search context visible in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Issue History and Evidence Search.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to search Elasticsearch for records related to each new issue and summarize any matches with their relevance.
- 4Pick New Issue Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real issue and confirm the relevant index contains searchable issue or incident context.
Questions about this workflow
Will this automatically assign or label the issue?
No. This workflow searches Elasticsearch and reports relevant context; it does not modify GitHub issues.
Does Elasticsearch need a particular index name?
The workflow can first inspect available indices, but useful matches require an index with relevant searchable records.
