Absorb issue changes without chasing threads

Get a short, conversational summary of issue activity so you can stay oriented with minimal effort.

Trigger

New Issue Event

Triggers when a new issue event occurs in a GitHub repository. Covers all issue timeline events such as issues being closed, reopened, assigned, unassigned, labeled, unlabeled, milestoned, demilestoned, renamed, locked, or unlocked. Events can optionally be filtered by type. The payload includes the event type, timestamp, the actor who triggered the event, the affected issue details, and any associated commit references.

Action

Get Spoken Result

Tool to retrieve a spoken-style single-sentence result from Wolfram|Alpha. Use when you need a concise, conversational answer to a natural-language query.

Why this helps

Issue timelines create a steady stream of small changes that are easy to miss or mentally expensive to process.

  • Lower the cost of staying informed
  • Reduce missed ownership and state changes
  • Keep project awareness lightweight

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Wolfram alpha api in Notis once.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
  • 3Use this instruction: For each GitHub issue event, use Wolfram Alpha to produce one spoken-style sentence explaining what changed and the next useful attention point.
  • 4Select New Issue Event and choose a reporting channel.
  • 5Test with one issue timeline event.

Questions about this workflow

Can it cover assignment changes?

Yes. Issue events include assignment, state, labeling, milestone, and other timeline changes.

Can I limit the noise?

Yes. Ask Notis to report only selected event types.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Wolfram alpha api. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

GitHub triggers

Wolfram alpha api actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Async Pod Fetch

Fetch a single asynchronous pod from Wolfram|Alpha Full Results API. Use this tool to retrieve individual pod computations that were marked as async in a Full Results query. When you query the Full Results API with async=true, pods that take longer to compute return async URLs containing 'id' and 's' tokens. Use those tokens with this tool to fetch the computed pod content. Typical workflow: (1) Query Full Results API with async=true parameter, (2) Parse response for async pod URLs, (3) Extract id and s tokens from URLs like 'asyncPod.jsp?id=MSPa...&s=13', (4) Use this tool with those tokens.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Establish Wolfram|Alpha Connection

Tool to store Wolfram|Alpha AppID into the connection credential store. Use when establishing or updating your AppID so that subsequent actions automatically include this credential.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Extract Recalculate URL & Tokens

Tool to extract the recalculate URL and id/s tokens from full Wolfram|Alpha results. Use when you need to follow up with recalc.jsp or relatedQueries.jsp calls.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Full Results Recalculate

Recalculate a prior WolframAlpha Full Results query to retrieve additional computational results (pods). Use this action when: - A previous Full Results API query timed out or returned incomplete results - You have a recalculate URL or ID token from a previous query - You need to fetch more computational pods from the same query The action requires the 'id' token (obtained from EXTRACT_RECALC_URL_TOKENS or from a Full Results response). The 's' parameter is optional and often not needed. Returns raw XML containing the recalculated query results, which may include additional pods or error information.

ActionInstant

New Branch Created

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

TriggerPolling

Full Results Related Queries

Tool to fetch related query suggestions for a previous Full Results computation. Use after obtaining `id` and `s` from a Full Results API response.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Get Wolfram|Alpha AppID

Tool to fetch the Wolfram|Alpha AppID from credentials. Use when you need to verify the current AppID before making API calls.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Query LLM API

Tool to query Wolfram|Alpha LLM API for computed knowledge optimized for large language model consumption. Returns plain text results with query interpretations, computed data, and image URLs. Use when you need comprehensive computational knowledge formatted for AI agent processing.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Query Summary Box

Tool to query the Summary Boxes API for pre-generated XHTML boxes summarizing Wolfram|Alpha knowledge. Use when you need formatted summary information for subjects like countries, chemicals, dates, or people. Requires a valid summary box path from Query Recognizer API.
