Create an UptimeRobot monitor from a GitHub request
When a new issue explicitly asks to monitor a service and provides its URL, Notis can create the UptimeRobot monitor and report the result.
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
Add Monitor
Tool to create a new monitor. use when you need to start monitoring a url or service; call after obtaining a valid api key.
Why this helps
A request to monitor a new service can get lost between a GitHub task and a separate monitoring dashboard.
- Turn a clearly scoped monitoring request into a configured monitor.
- Keep monitor setup attached to the issue that requested it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and UptimeRobot 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 monitor only for a new issue explicitly requesting monitoring and containing the service URL.
- 4Select GitHub New Issue Created, optionally filtered to your approved monitoring-request label, and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one new approved issue containing a service URL you intend to monitor.
Questions about this workflow
What must the issue include?
It should explicitly request a new monitor and include the service URL. Use a dedicated label if you want the trigger narrowed to approved requests.
Does this change source code or issue content?
No. The action creates a monitor in UptimeRobot and reports the result; it does not edit repository files or the GitHub issue.

Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Get Maintenance Windows
Tool to retrieve maintenance windows. use after confirming a valid api key.
