Geocode locations from new GitHub issues
Give location-sensitive bug reports useful coordinates before they disappear into the backlog.
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
Forward Geocode Address
Tool to convert a human-readable address into geographic coordinates. use when you need to retrieve latitude and longitude from an address.
Why this helps
Copying addresses from issues into a map breaks focus and delays triage.
- Keeps issue triage in one flow
- Adds location context quickly
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Opencage to Notis once.
- 2Open Automations and choose New Automation.
- 3Write an instruction to geocode any customer address in each new issue.
- 4Select New Issue Created and a channel for run reports.
- 5Create one test issue with a real address.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need to map issue fields?

Reverse Geocode Coordinates
Tool to convert coordinates to a human-readable address. use when you have latitude and longitude and need a readable location.
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.
Geocode XML
Tool to perform geocoding and return results in xml format. use when you need xml-formatted geocoding responses from opencage.
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.
