Research new GitHub issues with podcast episodes
Let Notis turn a research task into a short, relevant listening queue.
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
Search Episode Titles
The search episode titles endpoint allows users to search for and retrieve episode titles based on specified criteria. it provides a powerful way to find relevant episodes quickly, supporting real-time updates and notifications for changes in episode titles. this endpoint is particularly useful for applications that need to display or monitor podcast content, offering up-to-date information on episode titles across various shows or categories. while it excels at title searches, it may not provide full episode details or content, focusing primarily on the title information.
Why this helps
A fresh issue can send you down an unfocused research rabbit hole.
- Starts research from the issue context
- Reduces tab hopping
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Listen Notes to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it Issue research listening.
- 3Write a prompt asking Notis to search episode titles for the new issue topic, choose New Issue Created, select a report channel, and test it with one real issue.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need to map issue fields?
No. Describe the research outcome in your prompt and Notis handles the context.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Listennotes. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Listennotes actions
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.
Post episodes by ids
The listennotestest episodes post endpoint allows users to retrieve metadata for multiple podcast episodes in a single request. this post endpoint accepts a list of episode ids and returns detailed information about each specified episode. it's particularly useful for bulk retrieval of episode data, reducing the number of api calls needed when working with multiple episodes. the endpoint should be used when you need to fetch information about specific, known episodes rather than searching or browsing. keep in mind that this endpoint is focused on retrieval only and does not support creating, updating, or deleting episode data.
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 podcast via form data
The listennotestest podcasts post endpoint allows users to retrieve information about multiple podcasts using various identifiers such as listen notes ids, rss feed urls, apple podcasts ids, or spotify ids. it can optionally fetch the latest episodes for the specified podcasts. this endpoint is useful for bulk podcast data retrieval and for staying updated on recent episodes across multiple shows. it's particularly valuable for applications that need to sync or update podcast information from different platforms. the endpoint has a limit of returning up to 15 latest episodes per request, so for comprehensive episode history, multiple calls may be necessary.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Retrieve curated podcast by id
Retrieves detailed information about a specific curated podcast using its unique identifier. this endpoint allows users to access comprehensive data about a carefully selected podcast collection, including its contents, curator information, and associated metadata. it's particularly useful for applications that want to display or analyze curated podcast lists. the endpoint should be used when detailed information about a known curated podcast is required, but it won't provide a list of all available curated podcasts or allow modifications to the curated content.
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.
Fetch best podcasts list
The getbestpodcasts endpoint retrieves a curated list of the best podcasts from the listen notes platform. it allows users to access a collection of top-rated or popular podcasts, which can be filtered by genre, region, and content rating. this endpoint is useful for discovering high-quality podcast content, creating recommendation systems, or populating podcast directories. the results are paginated for efficient data retrieval and can be customized to exclude explicit content if required. while it provides a valuable overview of top podcasts, it may not include real-time updates or notifications about new episodes or changes in podcast rankings.
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.
Retrieve genre list
The getgenres endpoint retrieves a comprehensive list of available genres within the listennotestest platform. this endpoint is designed to provide users with up-to-date information on content categories, which can be used for filtering, organizing, or subscribing to specific types of content. it's particularly useful for applications that need to populate genre-based dropdown menus, create content recommendation systems, or set up genre-specific notification preferences. the endpoint does not require any input parameters, making it simple to use for fetching the entire genre catalog. however, users should be aware that the response may contain a large amount of data, depending on the number of genres available in the system.
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.
Get playlists
Retrieves a list of playlists from the listen notes platform. this endpoint allows users to fetch all available playlists associated with their account or publicly accessible playlists. it should be used when you need to display a collection of playlists, such as in a user's library or for browsing purposes. the endpoint returns basic information about each playlist, which may include the playlist name, creator, number of episodes, and other relevant metadata. note that this endpoint likely returns a limited number of playlists per request, and pagination might be necessary for retrieving large collections. it does not provide detailed information about the episodes within each playlist; separate api calls would be required to fetch that level of detail.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Listen to just listen endpoint
The 'just listen' endpoint is a basic listener or health check mechanism for the listennotestest app. it allows users to verify the availability and responsiveness of the service without requiring any input parameters. this endpoint should be used for monitoring the status of the listennotestest service or as a simple ping to ensure the api is operational. it's important to note that this endpoint likely doesn't provide any specific data about podcasts or user accounts. the response is expected to be minimal, possibly just confirming that the service is up and running. while useful for basic health checks, it should not be relied upon for any complex operations or data retrieval within the listennotestest ecosystem.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Get podcast audience by id
Retrieves audience information for a specific podcast identified by its unique id. this endpoint allows users to access demographic data, listening statistics, or other audience-related metrics for a particular podcast. it's useful for podcast creators, marketers, or analysts who want to understand their audience better or track the performance of their content. the tool returns aggregated data about the podcast's listeners, which may include but is not limited to age groups, geographic distribution, listening habits, or engagement metrics. it should be used when detailed audience insights for a specific podcast are needed. note that this endpoint does not provide real-time listener counts or individual listener data to protect user privacy.
