Research GitHub issues assigned to you
Receive a small research brief with the task, so starting feels lighter.
Trigger
New Issue Assigned to Me
Triggers when a new issue is assigned to the authenticated user. Fires an event for each GitHub issue that is newly assigned to the authenticated user. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues are emitted. Issues can optionally be filtered by labels and state. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, creator, repository details, and timestamps.

New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.

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.
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.
