Auto-label GitHub issues when your standup is starting soon
You open standup and spend the first five minutes hunting for the right issues. Notis catches the meeting as it is about to start and labels the relevant GitHub issues for you, so the board reflects reality before the call even begins.
Trigger
Event Starting Soon
Triggers when a calendar event is within a configured number of minutes from starting. Returns event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available.
Action
Add labels to an issue
Adds labels (provided in the request body) to a repository issue; labels that do not already exist are created.
Why this helps
The scramble to find and tag the right issues at the top of every standup burns focus and makes the meeting start slow and unfocused.
- The board is already tagged when standup begins, so you start on time instead of scrambling.
- No more manually opening issues one by one before every meeting.
- Keeps everyone looking at the same, current picture of the work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and GitHub to Notis once from the portal.
- 2Ask Notis for your portal link, then open Automations and choose New Automation.
- 3In the prompt, write your outcome in plain language, for example: When my standup event is about to start, add the review label to the GitHub issues we are working on.
- 4Pick the Google Calendar event starting soon trigger and choose a channel, like Telegram, where Notis reports each run.
- 5Test it by moving a real standup close to its start time and confirm the labels land.
Questions about this workflow
Which calendar event triggers this?
Any event you point Notis at when it is within your chosen number of minutes from starting, for example your recurring standup.
Do I have to map issue fields?
No. You describe the outcome in one plain-language sentence and Notis handles the rest. There are no field-mapping screens.
Can I use a label that does not exist yet?
Yes. If the label is not already in the repository, GitHub creates it when it is added.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Calendar to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Calendar triggers
GitHub actions
Attendee Response Changed
Polling trigger that fires when any attendee's RSVP changes to accepted, declined, or tentative. Returns attendee info and current status.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Event Canceled or Deleted
Triggers when a Google Calendar event is cancelled or deleted. Returns minimal data: event_id, summary (if available), and cancellation timestamp.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
Event Starting Soon
Triggers when a calendar event is within a configured number of minutes from starting. Returns event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Calendar Event Changes
**SOON TO BE DEPRECATED** - Use Calendar Event Sync (polling trigger) instead. Real-time webhook trigger for calendar event changes. Returns event metadata only. For full event data, use Calendar Event Sync (polling trigger).
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Event Created
Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Calendar Event Sync
Polling trigger that returns full event data including details, attendees, and metadata. For real-time notifications with basic info, use Calendar Event Changes (webhook).
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Event Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Calendar event is modified. Returns the event ID, change type, and the specific fields that changed with their previous and new values.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Google Calendar and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
