Research new GitHub issues with Reddit
When an issue lands, Notis searches Reddit for practical context before you start from zero.
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
Search across subreddits
Searches reddit for content (e.g., posts, comments) using a query, with results typically confined to subreddits unless `restrict sr` is set to false.
Why this helps
Investigating a reported problem can turn into an unplanned, tab-heavy research spiral.
- Brings community context into the issue triage moment
- Reduces repeated manual searches
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Reddit to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation from Automations or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Describe that Notis should search Reddit for relevant discussions whenever a new issue is created.
- 4Choose New Issue Created as the trigger and select a reporting channel.
- 5Create one sample issue and inspect the returned research.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Reddit. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Reddit actions
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 a Reddit post
Creates a new text or link post on a specified, existing reddit subreddit, optionally applying a flair.
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.
Delete Reddit comment
Deletes a reddit comment, identified by its fullname id, if it was authored by the authenticated user.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Delete a Reddit post
Permanently deletes a reddit post by its id, provided the authenticated user has deletion permissions for that post.
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.
Edit comment or post
Edits the body text of the authenticated user's own existing comment or self-post on reddit; cannot edit link posts or titles.
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.
Get link flair
Fetches the list of available link flairs (i.e., post flairs, not user flairs) for a given subreddit.
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.
Post a comment
Posts a comment on reddit, replying to an existing and accessible submission (post) or another comment.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Retrieve Comments for a Post
Retrieves all comments for a reddit post given its article id (which must be for an existing, public post); nested replies within comments are returned as raw dictionaries requiring parsing.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Retrieve posts from subreddit
Retrieves the current hot posts from a specified, publicly accessible subreddit.
