Add GitHub team members when a Jira project is created

A new project needs a team, and inviting each person one by one is exactly the kind of task that slips. When a project appears in Jira, Notis adds the named members to the GitHub team so everyone is in place from day one.

Trigger

New Project

Triggered when a new project is added in Jira

Action

Add or update team membership for a user

Adds a github user to a team or updates their role (member or maintainer), inviting them to the organization if not already a member; idempotent, returning current details if no change is made.

Why this helps

Assembling the GitHub team at kickoff means manual invites you forget, so people cannot contribute until they chase you down.

  • The crew is assembled on GitHub the day the project starts
  • No one gets left off the team and blocked from contributing
  • Team setup stops depending on you remembering each invite

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Jira and GitHub to Notis once from the portal.
  • 2Open Automations in the portal and click New Automation.
  • 3Describe it plainly: when a new Jira project is created, add the named people to the matching GitHub team.
  • 4Choose the New Project trigger from Jira and set a channel for run reports.
  • 5Create a test project and confirm the members are added to the team.

Questions about this workflow

Can it set member roles?

Yes. Your instruction can specify member or maintainer, and Notis applies the role.

What if someone is not in the organization yet?

GitHub invites them to the organization as part of adding them to the team.

Is it idempotent?

Yes. If the person is already a member with the same role, GitHub returns the current details with no duplicate change.

Supported Triggers and Actions

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

Jira triggers

GitHub actions

New Issue

Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.

TriggerInstant

Accept a repository invitation

Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.

ActionInstant

New Project

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Updated Issue

Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.

TriggerInstant

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Not just Jira and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
