Review Candidate Code in Seconds
You get a great resume but have no idea if the candidate can actually code. Notis lists their public Gists instantly so you review their code samples and style before the first interview.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List User Gists
Tool to list public gists for a specified GitHub user. Use when you have a username and need their gists.
Why this helps
You spend time hunting for candidate code samples on GitHub, or worse, you skip the step and hire based only on resume and soft skills, only to discover coding skill gaps later.
- Code samples at your fingertips
- Faster hiring decisions
- Assess actual coding ability before interviews
- Reduce bad hires from mismatched skills
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gist (GitHub) and Monday to Notis
- 2Create an automation called 'Candidate Code Review'
- 3In the Prompt, write: 'When a candidate is added to the hiring pipeline in Monday, extract their GitHub username and list all their public Gists to review code samples'
- 4Set Trigger to webhook, choose your notification channel, and save
- 5Test by adding a candidate profile with a GitHub username to your Monday hiring board
Questions about this workflow
Where do I enter the candidate's GitHub username?
Add a custom field in your Monday hiring board for GitHub username, or include it in the candidate description. Notis will extract it automatically.
Can it show a preview of the Gists?
Yes. Notis will list gists with descriptions and can show the first few lines of code so you get a sense of their work without clicking through.
What if they have no public Gists?
Notis will report that no public gists found, and suggest checking their GitHub profile directly or asking them to share code samples during the interview.
