Understand issue changes at a glance
Know what changed, what it affects, and whether you need to act.
Trigger
Issue State / Properties Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub issue changes any of its tracked properties. Monitored properties: state (open/closed), state_reason, title, body, assignees, labels, milestone, lock status, active_lock_reason, comment count, and closed_at timestamp. When a change is detected, the payload includes the full current issue details, the list of changed field names, and their previous values.
Action
AI Perform Web Task
Ai automation: complex workflows only. when to use: 10+ manual steps | dynamic/unpredictable content when to avoid: simple clicks | forms | navigation | payments strategy: try once → if fails, switch to manual immediately success rate: 40% - always have manual backup ready
Why this helps
Issue updates combine labels, ownership, scope, and status changes that are hard to interpret from notifications alone.
- Explain meaningful changes
- Spot ownership shifts
- Prevent silent backlog drift
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Browser tool to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: When a monitored GitHub issue changes state or properties, open it in Browser tool and explain what changed, the likely impact, and whether an action is needed.
- 4Pick the issue state and properties trigger and a reporting channel, then test with one real update.
Questions about this workflow
Which changes can it explain?
It can discuss changes to state, title, body, labels, assignees, milestone, lock status, and comments.
Can it ignore harmless changes?
Yes. Ask it to report only changes with likely product, customer, or ownership impact.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Browser tool. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Browser tool actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Copy Selected Text
Copy currently selected text on the page to clipboard - ideal for extracting highlighted content, copying form data, or harvesting visible text selections.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Drag and Drop
Execute precise drag and drop operations - essential for file uploads, list reordering, element moving, and complex ui interactions that require drag-based manipulation.
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.
Fetch Webpage Content
Your eyes: get page content for decision-making. use before: actions (find targets, understand state) use to verify: page transitions, major state changes, when actions seem to fail format: html=find elements | markdown=clean content | success rate: 99%
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.
Get Clipboard Content
Read current content from the system clipboard - essential for data transfer workflows, extracting copied text, and reading user-copied data for processing.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Keyboard Shortcut
Execute keyboard shortcuts and key combinations - essential for copy/paste, navigation, and application commands that agents need for efficient browser automation.
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.
Mouse Click
Precision clicker: manual clicking with coordinates. pattern: fetchwebpage(html) → find element → estimate coordinates → click → verify hints: center buttons ~(640,350) | nav/header ~y=150 | content ~y=300-500 tip: try ±50px if first click misses | success rate: 85%
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.
Mouse Double Click
Execute a precise double click at specified screen coordinates - ideal for opening files, selecting text, or activating ui elements that require double click gestures.
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.
Mouse Down (Press and Hold)
Press and hold mouse button at coordinates - use for starting custom drag operations, text selections, or long-press interactions. must be followed by mouseup action to complete.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
