Monitor Issue Progress Without Constant Checks
An issue you reported gets closed, but you don't realize someone already solved it. Notis sends state changes to WhatsApp so you see the latest status immediately.
Trigger
Issue State / Properties Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub issue changes any of its tracked properties. Monitored properties: state (open/closed), state_reason, title, body, assignees, labels, milestone, lock status, active_lock_reason, comment count, and closed_at timestamp. When a change is detected, the payload includes the full current issue details, the list of changed field names, and their previous values.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Issues resolve or regress while you're unaware. You think something is still open and make decisions based on stale information.
- Stay aware of issue resolution without GitHub checks
- Quickly spot reopened issues that need attention
- Make better decisions based on current status
- Reduce duplicate work on already-closed issues
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and WhatsApp to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When an issue I'm assigned to or following changes state, send me a message on WhatsApp with the new status'.
- 3Optionally filter by issue type, labels, or milestone.
- 4Test by closing and reopening a test issue.
- 5Verify the state change notification arrives on WhatsApp.
Questions about this workflow
Will I get notified for every state change?
You control the filter. For example: 'Notify me when an issue is closed' or 'Skip notifications for my own state changes'. Choose what matters.
Can I include the reason for the state change?
If the closer added a comment, Notis can include that. Otherwise, you'll see the state transition and can click to see full details.
What if an issue is closed as a duplicate?
Notis can note that it was marked as a duplicate and include a link to the related issue.
