Check Assignment Eligibility from Telegram Instantly
You want to assign someone to an issue but aren't sure if they have push access. Type a quick message in Telegram and Notis tells you if they're eligible. No GitHub context-switch needed.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
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
Uncertainty about permissions causes duplicate work and confusion. Neurodivergent founders need quick verification to avoid assigning work to people who can't do it.
- Verify assignment eligibility in seconds from Telegram
- No need to check GitHub settings manually
- Prevent assigning work to people without push access
- Reduces frustration from invalid assignments
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When I send a Telegram message asking if someone can be assigned to an issue, check their permission level and tell me yes or no.'
- 3Select Telegram (New Message) as the trigger.
- 4Test by sending a message like 'Can @alice be assigned to this repo?' and see the verification result.
Questions about this workflow
What permission level is required to assign someone?
Push access or higher. Notis will tell you their current level (admin, maintain, write, read, or none).
Can I check multiple people at once?
List them in one message: 'Can @alice, @bob, and @carol be assigned?' and Notis checks all three.
What if someone should be eligible but isn't?
Ask Notis to add them as a collaborator first, then try the assignment.

New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
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.
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Message Edited
Triggered when a message in a chat your bot can see is edited by its sender.
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 Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
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.
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.
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.
