Remove the planning tax from new work
When another task enters the queue, your next meal does not have to become another task.
Trigger
New Issue Created
Triggers when a new issue is created in a GitHub repository. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues produce events. Results can be filtered by labels, assignee, creator, and mentioned user. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, comment count, creator details, timestamps, and direct links to the issue on GitHub.
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
New work creates invisible follow-up, including deciding what to eat during the time it takes to complete it.
- Links everyday preparation to incoming workload.
- Creates a reusable list for busy work periods.
- Reduces context switching between product and household planning.
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 new GitHub issue is created, create an Instacart shopping list for easy meals and snacks for the work period implied by the issue.
- 4Select the new issue trigger, choose the channel for run reports, and test with one real issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can lists be tailored to the issue type?
Yes. Describe how different labels or issue types should influence the list.
Will issue text be used?
