Check domain availability when a naming issue arrives
Capture the name, check it once, and keep the decision visible.
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
Check Domain Availability
Tool to check if a domain is available for registration with optional suggestions. Use when you need to verify domain availability or get alternative domain suggestions.
Why this helps
Naming tasks often become another open loop because the availability check happens in a different tool.
- Close naming loops sooner
- Keep research attached to the original issue
- Avoid repeated manual availability searches
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Whoisfreaks to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis what you want conversationally.
- 3Give Notis this instruction: When a new GitHub issue asks about a product or project name, check the named domain in Whoisfreaks and report availability, suggestions, and the issue link.
- 4Select the new issue trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test with one naming issue.
Questions about this workflow
What kinds of issues work best?
Issues for product names, launch names, rebrands, microsites, or new repositories are a good fit.
Will Notis report alternative suggestions?
Yes, if the Whoisfreaks availability action returns suggestions.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Whoisfreaks. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Whoisfreaks actions

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.
Bulk DNS Lookup
Tool to process multiple domains or IPs simultaneously, returning all DNS records in a single request (max 100). Use when you need to retrieve DNS records for multiple domains at once for efficient batch processing.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Bulk Domain Availability Check
Tool to check availability of multiple domains in one request (max 100 domains). Use when you need to verify if domain names are available for registration. Response time ranges from 16 seconds to 1 minute for 100 domains.
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.
Bulk WHOIS Lookup
Tool to query WHOIS information for up to 100 domains in a single request. Use when you need comprehensive registration details, contact information, name servers, and domain status for multiple domains. Response includes normalized and parsed WHOIS data with 1 credit charged per successful query for each domain.
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.
DNS Live Lookup
Tool to perform real-time DNS record resolution for network diagnostics and configuration verification. Use when you need to retrieve current DNS records for a domain or perform reverse DNS lookup for an IP address.
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.
Check Domain Availability
Tool to check if a domain is available for registration with optional suggestions. Use when you need to verify domain availability or get alternative domain suggestions.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Get Domain Files Status
Tool to check availability and update status of domain data files including newly registered, expired, and dropped domains. Use when you need to verify that domain data files are prepared and ready for download before accessing file download endpoints.
