Research a competitor from every new issue
Capture context while the question is fresh, then return to the issue with evidence.
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
Research a company
Get a sourced brief before a call.
Why this helps
Competitor questions buried in issue queues rarely get researched before priorities move on.
- Keeps competitor questions attached to their source issue.
- Returns sourced context before roadmap decisions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Deep research once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: When a new issue names a competitor, research that company, its current positioning, and the specific question in the issue, then deliver a sourced brief.
- 3Choose GitHub New Issue Created as the trigger and Telegram as the run-report channel.
- 4Test with one real issue containing a competitor name and a research question.

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.
