Thank new GitHub stargazers with Instagram outreach
Turn a small signal of interest into a timely human touch.
Trigger
New Stargazer Added
Triggers when a new user stars a GitHub repository. Emits an event for each new stargazer detected on the monitored repository.
Action
Send Text Message
Send a text message to an instagram user via dm.
Why this helps
Early supporters show interest, but busy founders rarely have the capacity to acknowledge each signal personally.
- Acknowledges community interest quickly
- Creates a repeatable supporter follow-up
- Keeps outreach lightweight and personal
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Instagram to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Use this instruction: When a new GitHub stargazer is detected, send a brief thank-you Instagram DM when a matching Instagram user can be identified.
- 4Choose the stargazer trigger, select a run-report channel, and test with one real star.
Questions about this workflow
Will it message every star automatically?
It can, but the instruction should require a confident matching Instagram account before sending.
What if no Instagram match exists?
Notis can report the unmatched case instead of sending an uncertain message.
