Notis

Move issue ownership from Todoist to GitHub without another handoff

Write the owner, repository, and issue in a Todoist task. Notis handles the GitHub assignment and reports back in your chosen channel.

Trigger

New Task Created

Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.

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

Issue ownership decisions made during planning are easy to forget once attention shifts back to code.

  • Capture ownership where planning already happens
  • Reduce manual issue administration
  • Keep handoffs visible through run reports

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Todoist and GitHub to Notis once.
  • 2Ask Notis to assign the referenced GitHub issue whenever a new Todoist task names an owner.
  • 3Select Todoist's New Task Created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
  • 4Create one real assignment task and confirm the issue owner changes.

Questions about this workflow

What should the Todoist task include?

State the repository, issue number, and GitHub username in ordinary language so Notis has the context needed to make the assignment.

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Not just Todoist and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
