Escalate priority GitHub labels to Outlook
Make priority changes visible before they get buried in a board.
Trigger
GitHub Issue Labels Changed
Triggers when the labels on a specific GitHub issue change. Fires whenever a label is added to, removed from, or has its metadata (color, description) modified on the monitored issue. The payload includes: - ``current_labels`` -- the full set of labels currently on the issue - ``added_labels`` -- labels that were newly added - ``removed_label_names`` -- names of labels that were removed - ``changed_label_names`` -- labels whose metadata changed without being added or removed
Action
Send email
Sends an email with subject, body, recipients, and an optional attachment via microsoft graph api; attachments require a non-empty file with valid name and mimetype.
Why this helps
A label change is a subtle signal that is easy to miss in a fast-moving repository.
- Highlights changed priorities
- Avoids constant board checking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Outlook with Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language that emails you when an issue gains your urgent label.
- 3Choose the issue-labels trigger, select a report channel, and test by adding the label.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use my own label name?
