Notis

Apply branch check decisions without losing them between tools

Record the repository, branch, and approved check contexts in Todoist. Notis updates the protected branch in GitHub.

Trigger

New Task Created

Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.

Action

Add status check contexts

Adds status check contexts (provided in the request body, e.g., `{"contexts": ["new-context"]}`) to a protected branch, requiring these contexts to have been previously reported.

Why this helps

A new CI check may be agreed upon but never added to branch protection after the planning conversation ends.

  • Turn governance decisions into action
  • Keep branch requirements current
  • Avoid manual settings navigation

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Todoist and GitHub to Notis once.
  • 2Ask Notis to add the status check contexts listed in a new approved Todoist task to the named protected branch.
  • 3Choose New Task Created and a channel for run feedback.
  • 4Test with a check context that has already reported on a non-critical protected branch.

Questions about this workflow

Can I add a check that has never run?

No. GitHub requires the status check context to have been reported previously before it can be added.

TriggerPolling

Accept a repository invitation

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.
