Centralize Issue Discussions in Google Drive
Notis creates a threaded document in Google Drive for issue comment discussions. Complex conversations stay organized and searchable instead of buried in GitHub notifications.
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 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
Multi-day issue discussions fragment across GitHub threads, emails, and Slack. Understanding the full context requires reading GitHub comments in order, interrupting focus.
- Issue discussions stay readable in Google Docs instead of GitHub threads
- Searchable record of decisions and rationale for future reference
- Team members can review context without leaving Drive
- Reduces meeting overhead—most decisions already documented
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Ensure GitHub and Google Drive are connected in Notis.
- 2Create your automation: 'When a new comment is added to an issue, append it to a threaded document in Google Drive with the commenter, timestamp, and full comment text.'
- 3Select 'New GitHub Issue Comment' as your trigger.
- 4Pick a Notis channel for run notifications.
- 5Test by commenting on any issue in your repository.
Questions about this workflow
Will this capture all comments, or just mine?
All comments on the monitored issue trigger an entry. Notis captures the commenter's name, timestamp, and full message.
Can I track multiple issues at once?
Yes. Notis can create separate docs for different issues, or consolidate all comments into a master discussion log. Tell Notis your preference.
Are edits to comments captured?
Notis logs new comments. If someone edits their comment later, you can tell Notis to track edits as separate notes or ignore them.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Google Drive. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Google Drive actions

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.

Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Create File or Folder
Creates a new file or folder with metadata. use to create empty files or folders, or files with content by providing it in the request body (though this action primarily focuses on metadata creation).
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.
