Make Sure Kieai Issues Can Reach Their Owners
Ownership only helps when GitHub can assign it. A scheduled check catches hidden routing problems before they become dropped balls.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check if a user can be assigned
Verifies if a github user can be assigned to issues in a repository; assignability is confirmed by an http 204 (no content) response, resulting in an empty 'data' field in the response.
Why this helps
Issues can appear assigned in a plan while the intended person is not actually assignable in the repository.
- Catch blocked issue routing early.
- Keep ownership operational, not theoretical.
- Reduce silent handoff failures.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Kieai and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up.
- 3Tell Notis: On a recurring schedule, verify that the intended owners of Kieai-related GitHub issues can be assigned and report exceptions.
- 4Select a cron trigger and reporting channel, then test one known assignee and issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does this assign the issue too?
No. It verifies whether the user can be assigned; assignment is a separate GitHub action.
Why is this useful before a handoff?
It reveals permission or repository constraints before an issue disappears into an unresolved queue.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Kieai to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Kieai triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
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.
