Research M&A integration impact
An integration issue can request current news about a named company after an acquisition or merger signal.
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
Akta News
Fetch enriched news articles for a company, open-ended topic, or industry — funding rounds, M&A, leadership changes, and more.
Why this helps
M&A integration impact can otherwise become a separate research task while issue and PR decisions move quickly.
- Turn M&A integration impact into a concise evidence brief tied to the GitHub request.
- Flag absent values and leave qualification or risk decisions to a human reviewer.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Akta to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis, using this prompt: "When a new issue names a company, fetch enriched Akta news about acquisitions, funding, leadership, and other returned events relevant to integration impact. Separate facts from human interpretation."
- 3Use New Issue Created as the GitHub trigger. issue body must include the company or website and the M&A integration question.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one real issue or PR; review the returned Akta data before acting.
Questions about this workflow
What must the issue or PR contain?
issue body must include the company or website and the M&A integration question. Notis uses that text as context and does not invent an entity or research question.
Does this make the decision automatically?
No. Akta returns enriched news; Notis flags absent values and produces a human-review report, not an automatic qualification, risk, or classification decision.
