Make completed work feel complete
A closed issue can mark the finish line with something practical and enjoyable.
Trigger
New Issue Event
Triggers when a new issue event occurs in a GitHub repository. Covers all issue timeline events such as issues being closed, reopened, assigned, unassigned, labeled, unlabeled, milestoned, demilestoned, renamed, locked, or unlocked. Events can optionally be filtered by type. The payload includes the event type, timestamp, the actor who triggered the event, the affected issue details, and any associated commit references.
Action
Create Shopping List Page
Create a shopping list page on instacart + return shareable url. attempts prod first then falls back to dev; errors from prod bubble up if both fail.
Why this helps
Finishing a task often goes unnoticed because attention immediately jumps to the next open item.
- Adds closure to completed work.
- Creates a modest reward without extra planning.
- Encourages sustainable progress through visible milestones.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Instacart to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When a GitHub issue is closed, create an Instacart shopping list for a small meal or treat that marks the completion, including the issue title and link.
- 4Select the issue-event trigger filtered to closure, choose the channel for run reports, and test with one real closed issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can it run only for meaningful issues?
Ask Notis to limit it by labels, repository, or issue context in the instruction.
Can I create a recipe instead?
Yes. Choose the recipe action when a specific dish is more useful.
