Auto-Label GitHub Issues from Notion Status

When your task status changes in Notion, the matching GitHub issue gets labeled instantly. No more hunting for issues to update their labels manually.

Trigger

Page Properties Updated

Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.

Action

Add labels to an issue

Adds labels (provided in the request body) to a repository issue; labels that do not already exist are created.

Why this helps

Staying on top of issue status across GitHub requires constant manual label updates. With ADHD or autism, that recurring admin task easily gets missed, leaving stale labels and broken status visibility.

  • Keep all GitHub issues labeled consistently without manual effort
  • See task progress at a glance across both tools
  • Reduce the cognitive overhead of status management
  • Never miss updating an issue label again

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and GitHub to Notis once.
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When a task status changes in Notion, add the matching label to the GitHub issue.' Notis learns your status categories.
  • 3Specify your Notion database and confirm the status property.
  • 4Select your notification channel and test by changing one task status in Notion.

Questions about this workflow

What if I have custom status values in Notion?

Notis adapts to your custom statuses. Just tell it 'When status is X, apply label Y' and it handles the mapping.

Can multiple labels be applied at once?

Yes. Notis can apply multiple labels based on status and other properties.

What happens to old labels?

You decide: tell Notis to remove old labels before adding new ones, or keep both.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Notion to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

All Page Events

Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.

TriggerPolling

Accept a repository invitation

Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.

ActionInstant

Comment Created

Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

New Comment

Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.

TriggerPolling

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Database Created

Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.

TriggerInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

Data Source Created

Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Data Source Schema Updated

Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

New Page

Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

Page Added to Page

Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant
