Validate GitHub Issue Assignment from Mintlify Requests
A fast eligibility check keeps a documentation handoff from failing after the conversation ends.
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
The founder may delegate a docs task without knowing whether GitHub accepts the proposed assignment.
- Confirms a handoff is technically possible.
- Prevents silent assignment failures.
- Returns a focused result in the founder's chosen channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Mintlify and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Instruct Notis to check whether the proposed owner can be assigned to the matching GitHub issue from the Mintlify request.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for reports.
- 5Test it with one real assignment request.
Questions about this workflow
What happens when the owner is not eligible?
Notis reports the failed check so the owner or issue can be corrected.
Does it require field mapping?
No. The instruction tells Notis how to interpret the incoming request.

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.
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.
