Auto-Check Assignability for New Contacts
Before routing work to a new team member, Notis verifies they can be assigned GitHub issues. No more wasted time trying to assign work to people who aren't fully set up yet.
Trigger
New Contact Trigger
Triggers when a new Contact is Created in Salesforce.
Action
Check if a user can be assigned
Verifies if a github user can be assigned to issues in a repository; assignability is confirmed by an http 204 (no content) response, resulting in an empty 'data' field in the response.
Why this helps
Assigning work to newly added team members fails silently, causing confusion about whether assignments actually went through.
- Verify new contacts are GitHub-ready before assigning work
- Catch setup gaps early instead of when you need to delegate
- Reduce failed assignment attempts
- Keep workflow clean and predictable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Salesforce and GitHub to Notis
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a new contact is created in Salesforce, check if they can be assigned to GitHub issues'
- 3Notis will verify they have GitHub access in your organization
- 4Choose where to see the verification result (Slack, email, or your channel)
- 5Test by creating a new contact and verify the assignability check runs within 1 minute
Questions about this workflow
What does 'can be assigned' mean exactly?
It means they're an active member of your GitHub organization or repository with appropriate permissions to receive issue assignments.
What if they can't be assigned?
Notis will flag it so you know to provision their GitHub access first.
Does this run automatically, or do I need to kick it off?
It runs automatically every time a contact is created. You can also ask Notis to run a one-time check on existing contacts.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Salesforce to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Salesforce triggers
GitHub actions
Account Created or Updated
Triggers when an Account is created or updated in Salesforce. Uses LastModifiedDate high-watermark to capture both creations and updates.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Contact Updated
Triggers when an existing Salesforce Contact record is modified. Emits changed fields alongside relevant timestamps.
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.
Record Updated (Generic SObject)
Triggers when monitored fields change on any Salesforce SObject. You specify the SObject type and which field values should be returned in the payload. The trigger uses SystemModstamp to detect changes regardless of which specific field changed.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
New Contact Trigger
Triggers when a new Contact is Created in Salesforce.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
New Lead Trigger
Triggers when a new Lead is created in Salesforce.
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.
New or Updated Opportunity
Triggers when a Salesforce Opportunity is created or updated.
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.
Task Created or Completed
Triggers when a Task is created or when its status changes to Completed in Salesforce. Supports optional filtering by task Status or Subject.
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.
