Make urgent SMS alerts actionable in GitHub
A message arrives. The right person owns the next step before the thought disappears.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add assignees to an issue
Adds or removes assignees for a github issue; changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Why this helps
Urgent requests often remain in a shared inbox or phone thread with no clear owner.
- Creates clear ownership for urgent requests
- Reduces repeated checking of message threads
- Keeps follow-up visible where development work happens
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Sms alert and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Instruct Notis to assign the matching GitHub issue to the person named or implied by the SMS alert.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger, select a channel for run reports, and test with one real alert.
Questions about this workflow
Does this require field mapping?
No. You describe how Notis should interpret the SMS and GitHub issue in one plain-language instruction.
Can Notis report the result?
Yes. Choose a reporting channel when creating the automation.

Sms alert triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
