Give every engineering task a clear next person before it disappears into the board.
Trigger
New Card Trigger
Triggered when a card is created in the specified board
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
A founder captures an idea in Trello, then has to remember who should own the GitHub follow-up.
- Removes the handoff memory burden
- Keeps issues moving
- Makes ownership visible
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Trello and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation from Automations -> New Automation.
- 3Write that new Trello cards should assign the matching GitHub issue to the appropriate owner, select New Card, choose a report channel, and test one card.
Questions about this workflow
Do I need to map card fields?
No. Describe the matching issue and owner in your prompt; Notis handles the details.

Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Activity Trigger
Triggered when there is activity in Trello.
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.
New Board Trigger
Triggered when a board is created in the specified workspace
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
New Card Trigger
Triggered when a card is created in the specified board
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Card Updated Trigger
Triggered when a specific card is updated
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.
Not just Trello and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
