Create a Retell web-call session for a GitHub QA issue
When a new test issue clearly requests a web call and names the Retell agent, Notis can prepare the web-call session and share its returned details through your chosen run-report channel.
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
Create a new web call
The /v2/create-web-call endpoint creates a web call with a unique agent id, returning call details like type, token, call id, and status in json format, with a 201 response. optional metadata and variables can be included.
Why this helps
Voice-agent QA can stall while someone switches from the test issue to Retell just to prepare a web-call session.
- Prepare a web-call session when the test request reaches the repository queue.
- Keep its call ID and status with the QA handoff without writing credentials or tokens into GitHub.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and RetellAI to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis for it in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to create a web-call session only when a new QA issue explicitly requests it and names the Retell agent ID; report the returned details privately.
- 4Select GitHub New Issue Created, optionally filtered to your voice-test label, and choose a private channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one new QA issue for a non-production agent and confirm the session details arrive in the chosen channel.
Questions about this workflow
Does this place an outbound phone call?
No. It uses Retell’s Create a new web call action, which returns web-call details such as token, call ID, and status; it does not use the outbound phone-call action.
Will the token be posted to the GitHub issue?
No. The instruction routes returned details to the selected private run-report channel and does not edit the issue.
