Turn GitHub Assignments Into Airtable Tasks Automatically
Missing a work assignment is frustrating, especially when you switch between tools. Every time a GitHub issue is assigned to you, Notis creates a record in your Airtable workflow so you catch it immediately.
Trigger
New Issue Assigned to Me
Triggers when a new issue is assigned to the authenticated user. Fires an event for each GitHub issue that is newly assigned to the authenticated user. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues are emitted. Issues can optionally be filtered by labels and state. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, creator, repository details, and timestamps.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
GitHub assignments get buried in notifications. You miss new work because GitHub's notification model doesn't integrate with your project system.
- Never miss a work assignment
- Task appears in your Airtable workflow instantly
- Integrates with your existing task prioritization process
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Airtable in Notis settings.
- 2In the portal, create a new automation with this prompt: 'When I'm assigned a new GitHub issue, create a record in my Airtable task list with the issue details, priority, and due date if specified.'
- 3Select 'New Issue Assigned to Me' as the trigger.
- 4Choose your preferred notification channel for confirmations.
- 5Test by assigning yourself an issue in GitHub.
Questions about this workflow
Will this capture re-assignments if the issue changes hands?
Only the initial assignment triggers this automation. If you need to track reassignments, set up a separate automation on 'Issue State Changed.'
Can I auto-add specific labels?
Yes. In your prompt, specify labels like 'urgent' or 'review' to categorize incoming assignments.
What if I'm assigned but immediately unassigned?
The Airtable record is created when you're assigned. If you want to auto-remove it on unassignment, add that detail to your prompt.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Airtable. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Airtable actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Create base
Creates a new airtable base with specified tables and fields within a workspace; ensure field options are valid for their type.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Create Comment
Creates a new comment on a specific record within an airtable base and table.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.

Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Create multiple records
Creates multiple new records in a specified airtable table.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Create a record

New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Create table
Creates a new table within a specified existing airtable base, allowing definition of its name, description, and field structure.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
