Draft Outlook digests from GitHub repository notifications
Collect repository noise into a single, reviewable communication step.
Trigger
Repository Notification Received
Triggers when a new or newly updated notification thread appears for a specific GitHub repository. Monitors notifications for issues, pull requests, commits, releases, check suites, security alerts, and other repository activity. Supports filtering by read/unread status and by direct participation. Requires a Personal Access Token (classic) with the ``notifications``
Action
