Keep directions aligned with changing work
When the issue changes, the route should change with it.
Trigger
Issue State / Properties Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub issue changes any of its tracked properties. Monitored properties: state (open/closed), state_reason, title, body, assignees, labels, milestone, lock status, active_lock_reason, comment count, and closed_at timestamp. When a change is detected, the payload includes the full current issue details, the list of changed field names, and their previous values.
Action
Get directions
Fetches detailed directions between an origin and a destination, supporting intermediate waypoints and various travel modes.
Why this helps
A reassigned customer visit or updated destination can leave an old route in a founder's notes and calendar.
- Keeps routes current after task changes
- Reduces stale instructions
- Prevents avoidable travel mistakes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Maps to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation telling Notis to recalculate directions whenever a tracked issue property changes and the issue contains a destination.
- 3Select the GitHub issue state or properties changed trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 4Test by changing the destination or assignee on one location-based issue.
Questions about this workflow
What kinds of changes can trigger it?
The event can cover changes such as assignment, title, body, labels, milestone, or state.
Will it route every issue?
The plain-language instruction can tell Notis to act only when a resolvable destination is present.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Google Maps. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Google Maps actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Distance Matrix
Calculates travel distance and time for a matrix of origins and destinations. supports different modes of transportation and options like departure/arrival times. use when needing to determine travel metrics between multiple points.
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.
Geocoding, Reverse Geocoding, and Place ID Lookup
Deprecated: tool to convert addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and vice versa (reverse geocoding), or get an address for a place id. use for finding coordinates for an address, finding an address for coordinates, or looking up an address by its place id.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get directions
Fetches detailed directions between an origin and a destination, supporting intermediate waypoints and various travel modes.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
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.
Get Route
Calculates one or more routes between two specified locations using various travel modes and preferences; addresses must be resolvable by google maps.
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.
Embed Google Map
Tool to generate an embeddable google map url and html iframe code. use when you need to display a map (place, view, directions, street view, search) on a webpage without javascript.
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. 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.
Nearby search
Searches for places (e.g., restaurants, parks) within a specified circular area, with options to filter by place types and customize the returned fields and number of results.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Text Search
Searches for places on google maps using a textual query (e.g., "restaurants in london", "eiffel tower").
