Get context on new issue authors
Keep issue triage focused by preparing author context automatically.
Trigger
Issue Added Event
Triggered when a new issue is added to the repository.
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
Issue triage becomes fragmented when founders repeatedly open profiles before replying or prioritizing requests.
- Speeds up issue triage
- Reduces context switching during support work
- Creates a repeatable intake signal
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Gender api to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis for it in plain language.
- 3Use the instruction: “When a new GitHub issue is created, query Gender api by the issue author's full name and report the likely result with the issue link.”
- 4Pick the new issue trigger, select a channel for reports, and test with one real issue.
Questions about this workflow
Will pull requests trigger this workflow?
No. The selected GitHub event covers newly created issues and excludes pull requests.
What if the author has no full name?
Notis can report that the lookup could not be completed when the GitHub event lacks a usable name.

Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Get Gender API Statistics
Tool to retrieve account statistics from Gender-API, including remaining credits and usage details. Use when you need to check your credit balance before performing further gender lookups.

Gender From First Name
Tool to determine the gender of a first name. Use when you need to identify gender based on a given name.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed

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.
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.

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. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
New Repository Collaborator Added
