Why this helps
Neurodivergent founders struggle with synchronous standups and daily manual assignment. Asynchronous, automated assignment prevents decision fatigue and ensures balanced workload.
- Issues are assigned every morning without human decision-making
- Team members see their work clearly at the start of the day
- Prevents the burnout of daily assignment meetings
- Workload stays balanced automatically across your team
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'Every weekday at 8am, look at open GitHub issues in our repo marked as ready and assign them fairly to active team members based on their recent workload.'
- 3Select Notis Cron (Daily at 8am on weekdays) as your trigger.
- 4Test by setting the cron to run in 5 minutes, and confirm issues are assigned as expected.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis decide who gets which issue?
You can configure this in the automation prompt—by alphabetical order, by recent workload, by expertise, or any other rule you define.
Can I skip days or change the time?
Yes. Adjust the cron schedule in your automation—run it weekdays only, on weekends, at any time you prefer.
What if someone is on vacation?
Mention vacation days in the automation and Notis will skip that person during assignment.
