Give every new issue the context it needs
Start from a clearer problem statement with timely signals already gathered.
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
Get News Articles
Tool to retrieve a list of news articles based on filters. Use when keywords, sources, or date ranges are specified.
Why this helps
Issues become another queue of decisions because the surrounding market context is missing.
- Reduce research before triage
- Identify related market movement
- Make issue prioritization easier
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Perigon to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: “When a new GitHub issue is created, search for recent news related to its problem, product area, named companies, and competitors, then send a concise context brief.”
- 4Pick the new issue trigger, choose a channel for reports, and test with one representative issue.
Questions about this workflow
Can this focus on product issues?
Yes. Use the GitHub trigger filters available for the repository, labels, or other supported criteria.
Will it change the issue?
This workflow is designed to report research; it does not assume any unsupported GitHub write action.
