Ask Devin a repository question from a webhook
Route external technical signals into a grounded repository answer.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Ask question
Ask any question about a GitHub repository and get an AI-powered, context-grounded response. Args: repoName: GitHub repository or list of repositories (max 10) in owner/repo format question: The question to ask about the repository
Why this helps
Alerts and internal tools often surface codebase questions outside the normal inbox workflow.
- Connects external signals to repository research
- Supports custom internal tooling
- Keeps the question grounded in named repositories
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Devin MCP in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named for the webhook driven repository question.
- 3Tell Notis to use the webhook payload to ask Devin the supplied repository question.
- 4Pick a Notis webhook as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real webhook payload.
Questions about this workflow
What must the webhook payload include?
Include the repository name and a clear question, because Devin's Ask question action requires both.
