Weekly spec sync to GitHub assignments
Every Monday morning, Notis reviews your specs in Google Drive and automatically assigns updated specs to the dev team on GitHub. No standing meeting needed—work assignment happens while you sleep.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add assignees to an issue
Adds or removes assignees for a github issue; changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Why this helps
Every Monday you manually check which specs changed over the weekend, then hunt for the matching GitHub issues and assign them. It's repetitive and easy to miss changes.
- Spec reviews happen on schedule without manual work
- Developers get updated assignments automatically each week
- Reduces back-and-forth and assignment delays
- Frees you from repetitive admin tasks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: "Every Monday at 8 AM, review updated specs and assign them to the dev team on GitHub."
- 3Choose which Drive folder to monitor for spec updates.
- 4Verify the first run: check GitHub on Monday morning and see assignments appear.
Questions about this workflow
What if there are no spec updates that week?
Notis checks and reports no changes—no false assignments.
Can I change the review day or time?
Yes. Tell Notis to run on a different day or time that works for your team.
Do previous assignees get reassigned?
Notis assigns based on the latest spec. You control whether it replaces or adds to existing assignments.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive triggers
GitHub actions
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
