Invite testers for new preview deployments
Turn a ready preview into a timely testing opportunity.
Trigger
New Deployment Created
Triggers when a new deployment is created in a GitHub repository. Fires an event for each newly created deployment detected in the configured repository. Deployments can optionally be filtered by target environment. The payload includes the deployment ID, commit SHA, ref, task, environment, creator details, and timestamps.
Action
Create a post
Creates a tweet on twitter; `text` is required unless `card uri`, `media media ids`, `poll options`, or `quote tweet id` is provided.
Why this helps
Preview environments expire while founders are busy, so valuable feedback windows can close unnoticed.
- Makes feedback windows visible
- Reduces manual tester outreach

- 2Create a new automation called Preview tester invite.

Questions about this workflow
Can it skip production deployments?
Yes. Ask Notis to create invitations only for preview or staging environments.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Twitter. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Twitter actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add a list member
Adds a user to a specified twitter list; the list must be owned by the authenticated user.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add post to bookmarks
Adds a specified, existing, and accessible tweet to a user's bookmarks, with success indicated by the 'bookmarked' field in the response.
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.
Get bookmarks by user
Retrieves tweets bookmarked by the authenticated user, where the provided user id must match the authenticated user's id.
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 group DM conversation
Creates a new group direct message (dm) conversation on twitter with specified participant ids and an initial message, which can include text and media attachments.
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 compliance job
Creates a new compliance job to check the status of tweet or user ids; upload ids as a plain text file (one id per line) to the `upload url` received in the response.
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.
Create a list
Creates a new, empty list on x (formerly twitter), for which the provided name must be unique for the authenticated user; accounts are added separately.
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.
Create a post
Creates a tweet on twitter; `text` is required unless `card uri`, `media media ids`, `poll options`, or `quote tweet id` is provided.
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 direct message
Permanently deletes a specific twitter direct message (dm) event using its `event id` if the authenticated user sent it; this action is irreversible and does not delete entire conversations.
