Assign GitHub issues automatically via webhook
Trigger an HTTP request from your CI/CD pipeline, CRM, or custom script, and Notis instantly assigns the right GitHub issue to the right person—zero manual steps.
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
Your CI/CD pipeline or external tool detects a failing test or bug report, but you still have to manually jump into GitHub to assign the issue. This context-switch happens multiple times a day.
- No more jumping between tools to assign issues
- Assignments happen instantly when your CI or external tool fires
- Perfect for neurodivergent workflows where context-switching is draining
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis via the portal.
- 2Create your automation by asking Notis: 'When you receive a webhook with an issue number and assignee, assign that issue to that person' or use the portal builder.
- 3Select 'Notis Webhook' as your trigger—Notis will generate a unique webhook URL for you.
- 4Point your external tool (CI pipeline, custom script, Zapier) to that URL with the issue number and assignee in the payload.
- 5Test by sending a test webhook and confirming the assignment updates in GitHub.
Questions about this workflow
What should my webhook payload look like?
Tell Notis the exact fields you're sending (e.g., issue_number, assignee_username). Notis parses it and maps it to GitHub. A simple JSON like {"issue_number": 42, "assignee": "alice"} works.
Can I trigger other GitHub actions besides assignment?
Yes. You can ask Notis to add labels, close issues, or update descriptions—whatever makes sense for your webhook payload.
Is the webhook URL secure?
Notis generates a unique webhook URL for each automation, so only your tool can trigger it. No secret tokens needed unless you want extra security.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Airtable to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Airtable triggers
GitHub actions
Base Metadata Changed
Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
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.
User Profile Changed
Triggers when the connected Airtable user's profile information changes.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
View Created
Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
View Deleted
Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.
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.
View Metadata Changed
Triggers when an Airtable view changes its name or type.
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.
