Make GitHub notifications easier to act on
Get the context that helps you decide whether a notification deserves attention now.
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
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
Notification streams create cognitive load and make high-value signals blend into routine activity.
- Reduce notification scanning
- Prioritize meaningful activity
- Receive context with the alert
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Perigon to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: “When a new or updated GitHub repository notification arrives, search Perigon for relevant recent coverage about the repository, issue, pull request, or companies involved, then report only useful context.”
- 4Choose the repository notification trigger, select a channel for run reports, and test with one notification.
Questions about this workflow
Can this monitor unread notifications only?
Configure the GitHub notification trigger for unread activity when that option is available.
Will every notification generate noise?
The instruction asks Notis to report only context that is useful for prioritization.
