Make every Lemlist handoff assignable
A quick validation prevents a follow-up from landing with an owner who cannot take it.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a user can be assigned to an issue
Checks if a specified github user can be assigned to a given issue within a repository.
Why this helps
A handoff can look complete while GitHub silently rejects the intended assignee.
- Prevents failed ownership handoffs
- Flags blockers while context is fresh
- Reduces follow-up repair work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Lemlist and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations -> New Automation or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Instruct Notis: When Lemlist sends a technical handoff, check whether the proposed GitHub user can be assigned to the linked issue and report the result.
- 4Use notis_webhook as the trigger and choose a channel for reports.
- 5Test with one real handoff.
Questions about this workflow
Does this assign the user too?
No. It verifies assignability so a later assignment can be made safely.
What happens if the user cannot be assigned?
Notis reports the mismatch in the selected channel for manual resolution.

Lemlist 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.
