Trigger
GitHub Issue Labels Changed
Triggers when the labels on a specific GitHub issue change. Fires whenever a label is added to, removed from, or has its metadata (color, description) modified on the monitored issue. The payload includes: - ``current_labels`` -- the full set of labels currently on the issue - ``added_labels`` -- labels that were newly added - ``removed_label_names`` -- names of labels that were removed - ``changed_label_names`` -- labels whose metadata changed without being added or removed
Action
Report Event
Tool to send custom events to Honeybadger Insights. Use when recording structured NDJSON telemetry.
Why this helps
Labels often carry the real priority signal, but changes can happen without anyone documenting why.
- Preserves added and removed labels
- Makes priority shifts visible
- Supports cleaner asynchronous handoffs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Honeybadger to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: “When labels change on the monitored GitHub issue, report a Honeybadger event with added labels, removed labels, current labels, issue, and link.”
- 4Select the issue-label-change trigger, choose a reporting channel, and test with one label update.
Questions about this workflow
Can removed labels be shown?
Yes. The event includes the names of removed labels, along with the current label set.
Is this useful for support-driven triage?
Yes. It preserves how an issue’s category or urgency changed over time.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Honeybadger. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Honeybadger actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Report Check-In
Tool to report a check-in (ping) to Honeybadger. Use when monitoring scheduled tasks to signal they're running on time.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Report Deployment
Tool to report a new deployment to Honeybadger. Use after a successful release to notify Honeybadger of the deployment.
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.
Report Event
Tool to send custom events to Honeybadger Insights. Use when recording structured NDJSON telemetry.
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.
Report Exception
Tool to report an exception notice to Honeybadger. Use when sending error details (stack trace, context) for diagnostics.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Upload File to S3
Tool to upload a local file to a managed S3 bucket. Use when preparing files for source-map uploads.
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.
Upload Source Map
Tool to upload JavaScript source maps for error de-minification. Use after deploying assets to Honeybadger to attach source 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.
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.
