Validate issue owners before the handoff
Catch unavailable GitHub assignees in a daily sweep, before an ownership suggestion becomes another stalled task.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
A task has a likely owner in the plan, but assignment fails later because that person cannot be assigned in the repository.
- Finds invalid assignee suggestions early
- Makes daily planning more actionable
- Reduces failed assignment follow-ups
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Project bubble and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create a recurring automation in the portal or through a Notis conversation.
- 3Tell Notis in one prompt to review unassigned Project bubble engineering tasks and check whether each suggested owner can be assigned in the relevant GitHub repository.
- 4Choose a daily schedule and reporting channel, then test with one candidate owner.
Questions about this workflow
Does this assign the issue after the check?
No. It verifies repository-level assignability and reports the result so the ownership decision stays deliberate.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
Project bubble and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
