Explore Target categories from a GitHub issue
When a new research issue names a product area, Notis can look up matching Target categories so you can choose a useful scope before researching products.
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
List Categories
Tool to retrieve all top-level (root) categories or filter results using optional parameters. Use when you need to browse the category hierarchy, search for specific categories, or retrieve category details. Parameters id, parent_id, and search_term are mutually exclusive.
Why this helps
Starting product research without a clear category can create extra browsing and an unfocused list of findings.
- Find relevant Target category options from the product area in the issue.
- Start research with clearer scope and fewer manual category searches.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and RedCircle API to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis for it in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to use the product-area phrase in a new category-research issue to search Target categories and report matching names/details.
- 4Select GitHub New Issue Created, optionally filtered to your category-research label, and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one new issue whose title or body clearly names a product area.
Questions about this workflow
Does this search for products?
No. This workflow uses the Target category-listing action to find relevant categories; it does not retrieve product listings or reviews.
What should the GitHub issue include?
Include a clear product-area phrase in its title or body and use the category-research label if you configured that event filter.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to RedCircle API. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
RedCircle API actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Zipcodes
Tool to add zipcodes to your RedCircle API account for geolocation targeting. Use when you need to localize product searches by specific postal codes. New zipcodes take approximately 2 minutes to become available after being added.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Clear Collection Requests
Tool to remove all requests from a specified collection. Collections can only be cleared when not actively running. Use when you need to empty a collection of all its requests.
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Create Collection
Tool to create a new collection for running up to 15,000 requests on a schedule. Use when you need to organize and schedule batch requests with various scheduling patterns, priority levels, and notification methods.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Create Destination
Tool to create a new destination for uploading Collection Result Sets to cloud storage. Use when you need to configure a storage destination for result sets with providers like S3, GCS, Azure, OSS, or S3-compatible storage.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Create Requests
Tool to add up to 1,000 requests to an existing collection. Use when you need to populate a collection with product requests. Collections have a maximum of 15,000 requests (100 if include_html=true). Sequential calls required; parallel requests trigger HTTP 429 errors.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Delete Collection
Tool to remove a collection from the system by ID. Use when you need to delete a collection that is not currently running.
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.
Delete Destination
Tool to remove a destination from your RedCircle API account. Use when you need to permanently delete a specific destination by its ID.
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.
Delete Request from Collection
Tool to remove an individual request from a collection. Use when you need to delete a specific request from a collection by providing both collection_id and request_id. Collections must not be running during deletion.
