Move clear action owners from slides to GitHub
When a slide names an owner and a concrete follow-up, Notis can find the matching existing issue and assign it to that person.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
Action
Add assignees to an issue
Adds or removes assignees for a github issue; changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Why this helps
Action owners named in meeting decks are easy to lose when the team returns to its issue tracker.
- Keep named owners attached to tracked work.
- Reduce the gap between meeting decisions and issue follow-up.
- Avoid assigning work when the slide does not identify a clear owner.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to match a slide's explicit action and named owner to an existing issue, then add that owner as an assignee only if the match is clear.
- 4Choose the New Slide Added trigger, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real action-items slide and check the issue and assignee.
Questions about this workflow
What if the named person cannot be assigned?
The GitHub action may silently ignore assignment changes when the authenticated user lacks push access. Have Notis report the result so you can follow up.
Will this create missing issues?
No. This workflow assigns people to an existing issue. If the issue or owner match is unclear, the instruction should ask Notis to report that instead of guessing.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Slides to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Slides triggers
GitHub actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
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.
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.
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.
Google Slides and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
