Centralize Issue Discussions in Airtable
Issue discussions get scattered across GitHub comments. When a new comment is added to an issue, Notis logs it in the Airtable record so product managers and stakeholders see the technical context without leaving your project base.
Trigger
New GitHub Issue Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specific GitHub issue. Only genuinely new comments are emitted; edits to existing comments do not produce duplicate events. The payload includes the comment ID, text body, author details, timestamps, and direct links to the comment on GitHub.
Action
Create Comment
Creates a new comment on a specific record within an airtable base and table.
Why this helps
Decision-making discussions happen in GitHub comments but stakeholders miss them because they don't check GitHub regularly.
- All issue discussions visible in Airtable
- Stakeholders see technical context without GitHub access
- Decisions documented in project context
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Airtable.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new comment is added to a GitHub issue, add that comment to the Airtable record with the author name, timestamp, and comment text.'
- 3Select 'New GitHub Issue Comment' as the trigger.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by commenting on a GitHub issue.
Questions about this workflow
Will this include all comments or just certain ones?
By default, all comments are captured. You can filter by author (e.g., 'only capture comments from team leads') if needed.
What about comment edits?
Only new comments are captured. If you need to track edits, set up a separate automation.
Are emoji reactions captured?
Only the text comment is captured. Reactions stay in GitHub.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Airtable. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Airtable actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Create base
Creates a new airtable base with specified tables and fields within a workspace; ensure field options are valid for their type.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Create Comment
Creates a new comment on a specific record within an airtable base and table.
New Branch Created

Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Create multiple records
Creates multiple new records in a specified airtable table.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Create table
Creates a new table within a specified existing airtable base, allowing definition of its name, description, and field structure.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
