Turn operational issues into nearby options
If an issue says you need a printer, repair shop, courier, or meeting space, surface the options immediately.
Trigger
Issue Added Event
Triggered when a new issue is added to the repository.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Small operational blockers compete with product work and can remain unresolved because finding help takes too many steps.
- Finds local support without a separate search session
- Makes small blockers easier to resolve
- Preserves attention for higher-value founder work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Maps to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation that asks Notis to search nearby for the service described in each new issue.
- 3Pick the GitHub issue added event as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with an issue requesting a specific local service.
Questions about this workflow
What kinds of services can it find?
It can search for place categories such as repair shops, couriers, printers, clinics, cafes, or hardware stores.
Does it need an exact address?
A saved base location or a location in the issue gives Google Maps enough context for a nearby search.
