Preserve issue changes in customer context
Small changes in an issue can change what a customer needs to hear next.
Trigger
Issue State / Properties Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub issue changes any of its tracked properties. Monitored properties: state (open/closed), state_reason, title, body, assignees, labels, milestone, lock status, active_lock_reason, comment count, and closed_at timestamp. When a change is detected, the payload includes the full current issue details, the list of changed field names, and their previous values.
Action
Create a note
You can add a note to a single contact.
Why this helps
Important changes to assignees, milestones, labels, or status can be missed by the support side.
- Preserves key engineering changes beside customer context.
- Reduces repeated status investigation.
- Makes future follow-up more informed.

- 1Connect GitHub and Intercom to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: When a tracked GitHub issue property changes for a customer-related issue, create a concise note on the matching Intercom contact with the changed property and issue link.
- 4Select the issue state or properties changed trigger and choose the report channel.
- 5Test with one real issue update.
