Confirm incident assignees from Outlook
Resolve the access question before an incident loses momentum.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
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
Incident handoffs stall when the requested owner cannot be assigned to the repository.
- Speeds handoffs
- Prevents failed assignments
- Keeps responders focused
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create a new portal automation.
- 3Describe that Notis should verify the requested incident owner can be assigned.
- 4Select New Outlook Message and a reporting channel.
- 5Test with a real repository member.
Questions about this workflow
Does it assign the issue too?
This workflow checks eligibility; use a separate assignment workflow when needed.

New Contact Added

Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Calendar Event Changes
Triggered when a new calendar event occurs (created, updated, or deleted) in the Outlook calendar.
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.
New Calendar Event
Triggered when a new calendar event is created in the Outlook calendar.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
New Sent Message
Triggered when a new message is sent from the Outlook mailbox.
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.
Not just Outlook and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
