Celebrate Every Star Your Repo Gets
When someone stars your GitHub repo, Notis adds a celebratory emoji to a Slack message.
Trigger
Star Added Event
Triggered when a new star is added to the repository.
Action
Add reaction to message
Adds a specified emoji reaction to an existing message in a slack channel, identified by its timestamp; does not remove or retrieve reactions.
Why this helps
Small wins like new stars often go unnoticed, especially for founders running solo or managing multiple projects.
- Celebrate wins and build team morale
- Track project momentum in Slack
- Positive reinforcement for your work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Slack to Notis
- 2Tell Notis: 'Celebrate when our repo gets a star'
- 3Describe the outcome: 'When a new star is added to the GitHub repo, add a celebratory emoji reaction in our #wins channel'
- 4Select the trigger: Star Added Event
- 5Choose a Slack channel for celebration reactions
- 6Test by starring your repository from another GitHub account
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the celebration emoji?
Yes. Tell Notis which emoji to use: star, fire, rocket, heart, or any other reaction.
What if we get stars too frequently?
Create an automation that posts a daily star count instead of celebrating each one individually.
Does this work for multiple repositories?
Yes. Create separate automations for each repo or monitor all repos in one automation.
