Keep up with new GitHub followers

Capture audience signals without adding another recurring research task.

Trigger

Follower Changes

Triggers when new followers are detected on your GitHub account.

Action

Query Gender by Full Name

Tool to determine gender by splitting a full name. Use when you have an exact full name string and want to infer gender. Slightly less reliable for rare or ambiguous names.

Why this helps

New followers accumulate faster than founders can review profiles or remember why the signal matters.

  • Makes follower growth more actionable
  • Prevents promising signals from being forgotten
  • Keeps reports concise and timely

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Gender api to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it by message.
  • 3Use this instruction: “When GitHub detects a new follower, query Gender api by the follower's full name and send me a concise report with their profile.”
  • 4Select the follower trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one real follower event.

Questions about this workflow

Where will the report appear?

It appears in whichever channel you select for Notis automation run reports.

Can this support weekly audience review?

Yes. Pair the reports with a recurring review routine or use a separate Notis cron workflow.
