Catch the comment that turns a bug into an incident
Notis reads the new GitHub comment in context and opens an incident when it confirms an active outage or severe regression.
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
Create Incident V2
Tool to create a new incident in incident.io using the V2 API. Use when you need to report and track an operational issue or outage. Requires at minimum an idempotency_key and visibility setting. Optionally specify severity, incident type, custom fields, role assignments, and other attributes.
Why this helps
The decisive evidence that a bug affects production often arrives deep in a comment thread after the issue was initially triaged as routine.
- Responds when new evidence changes urgency
- Keeps the confirming comment linked to the incident
- Reduces repeated manual review of active issue threads
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and incident.io to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis to create an incident when a new comment on the monitored issue confirms current production impact, and to include the comment link.
- 3Select New GitHub Issue Comment as the trigger and choose your run-report channel.
- 4Post a representative test comment and check the incident result.
Questions about this workflow
Will every comment create an incident?
No. The plain-language prompt can require clear production-impact or outage evidence before acting.
Can the incident link to the exact comment?
Yes. The GitHub trigger includes a direct comment URL.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to incident.io. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
incident.io actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Alert Attribute V2
Tool to create an alert attribute in incident.io. Use when you need to define structured data fields that can be parsed from alerts coming in via alert sources. Alert attributes allow you to extract and organize information from incoming alerts.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Alert Route V2
Tool to create an alert route in incident.io. Use when you need to configure how alerts should be processed, routed, and potentially converted into incidents based on conditions, grouping rules, and templates.
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.
Create Alert Source V2
Tool to create a new alert source in incident.io. Use when you need to set up a new integration for receiving alerts from external systems via HTTP webhooks or manual entry.
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.
Create Catalog Entry V2
Tool to create a catalog entry in incident.io. Use when you need to add a new entry to a catalog type with specific attribute values. Catalog entries represent items like teams, services, or custom resources in your incident management workflow.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Create Catalog Entry V3
Tool to create a catalog entry in incident.io using the V3 API. Use when you need to add a new entry to a catalog type with specific attribute values. Catalog entries represent items like teams, services, or custom resources in your incident management workflow.
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.
Create Catalog Type V3
Tool to create a new catalog type in incident.io V3 API. Use when you need to define custom resource types for your organization's catalog, such as teams, services, or infrastructure components.
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.
Create Custom Field Option
Tool to create a new custom field option in incident.io. Use when you need to add a new selectable value to an existing custom field.
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.
Create Custom Field V2
Tool to create a custom field in incident.io using the V2 API. Use when you need to add a new custom field to track additional information during incidents.
