Trigger
New Issue Assigned to Me
Triggers when a new issue is assigned to the authenticated user. Fires an event for each GitHub issue that is newly assigned to the authenticated user. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues are emitted. Issues can optionally be filtered by labels and state. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, creator, repository details, and timestamps.

Why this helps
Assigned issues create an immediate context switch, and the background work needed to understand them is easy to postpone.
- Understand the problem before committing time.
- Find relevant technical and market context automatically.
- Receive one focused brief instead of researching across scattered tabs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Deep research to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction: research each new issue assigned to me and return context, comparable solutions, risks, and recommended next steps.
- 4Select the assigned-issue trigger, choose your reporting channel, and test it with one real assigned issue.
Questions about this workflow
Will this run for pull requests?
No. This trigger covers true GitHub issues assigned to you.
Can I use the brief for prioritization?
Yes. Ask the research instruction to include urgency signals, dependencies, and a suggested first action.

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.
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.
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.
