Pair important GitHub notifications with your Gist reference shelf
Notis lists your starred Gists for direct-participation repository notifications, giving you a compact menu of trusted runbooks and snippets.
Trigger
Repository Notification Received
Triggers when a new or newly updated notification thread appears for a specific GitHub repository. Monitors notifications for issues, pull requests, commits, releases, check suites, security alerts, and other repository activity. Supports filtering by read/unread status and by direct participation. Requires a Personal Access Token (classic) with the ``notifications``
Action
List Starred Gists
Tool to list the authenticated user's starred gists. Use when you need to retrieve all gists the user has starred.
Why this helps
A notification can demand action without reminding you which saved guide, command, or template supports the response.
- Surfaces trusted references on demand
- Reduces bookmark hunting
- Supports faster notification triage
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Gist to Notis once.
- 2Create Repository Notification Reference Shelf in the portal.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to list your starred Gists for relevant direct-participation notifications and report the most useful matches.
- 4Select Repository Notification Received, choose filters and a report channel, and test with one repository notification.

Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
