Never Miss a New Issue
When someone creates an issue in GitHub, Notis posts it to your team's intake channel in Slack.
Trigger
New Issue Created
Triggers when a new issue is created in a GitHub repository. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues produce events. Results can be filtered by labels, assignee, creator, and mentioned user. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, comment count, creator details, timestamps, and direct links to the issue on GitHub.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
New issues can get buried in GitHub and missed by team members responsible for triage and prioritization.
- All new issues surface in your team's Slack channel
- No issues slip through the cracks
- Centralized intake process in your communication tool

Questions about this workflow
Can I filter by repository?
Yes. Tell Notis which repositories to monitor or exclude.
What if we get too many issues and the channel gets overwhelming?
Create separate channels for different issue types, or filter by labels and urgency.
Can I include the issue creator in the Slack message?
Yes. Notis will include the reporter and their profile so the team knows who to contact.
