Never Miss an Assigned Issue—Create Docs Automatically
Notis creates a dedicated task document in Google Drive the moment an issue is assigned to you. Your responsibilities stay visible and organized without manual effort.
Trigger
New Issue Assigned to Me
Triggers when a new issue is assigned to the authenticated user. Fires an event for each GitHub issue that is newly assigned to the authenticated user. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues are emitted. Issues can optionally be filtered by labels and state. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, creator, repository details, and timestamps.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Assigned issues disappear into notification overload. Critical tasks slip through the cracks because tracking happens in multiple places—GitHub, email, and your memory.
- Every assigned issue creates a trackable task doc
- Task status updates in one place instead of scattered across tools
- Neurodivergent-friendly—external reminders reduce reliance on memory
- Reduces anxiety from wondering what was assigned and what you missed
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Drive to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When an issue is assigned to me, create a task document in Google Drive with the issue title, description, labels, and a link to the issue on GitHub.'
- 3In the portal, select 'New Issue Assigned to Me' as your trigger.
- 4Choose a Notis channel for automation confirmations.
- 5Have a team member assign you an issue to test.
Questions about this workflow
What if I'm assigned multiple issues at once?
Each assignment triggers a separate task doc. Notis creates them all within a minute, giving you a clear list of new responsibilities.
Can I add due dates based on labels or priority?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'If the issue has a high-priority label, add a due date of tomorrow.' Notis interprets your instructions and sets dates accordingly.
How do I know if a task doc was created?
Notis notifies you in your chosen channel (Slack, email, etc) immediately. The doc appears in a designated folder in Google Drive.
