Look up GitHub issue commenter handles automatically
Notis helps you keep conversations moving by adding optional handle-based context to new issue comments.
Trigger
New GitHub Issue Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specific GitHub issue. Only genuinely new comments are emitted; edits to existing comments do not produce duplicate events. The payload includes the comment ID, text body, author details, timestamps, and direct links to the comment on GitHub.
Action
Get Gender from Username
Tool to determine gender from a username or nickname. Use when you have an alias or handle and want to infer gender from that identifier.
