Keep review coordination realistic
When the people involved change, update the travel picture before the meeting plan drifts.
Trigger
GitHub Pull Request Reviewers Changed
Triggers when the list of requested reviewers (users or teams) for a pull request changes — for example when a reviewer is added, removed, or re-requested. The payload includes the full current reviewer list (users and teams with details), which reviewers were added, which were removed, and the previous reviewer list for reference.
Action
Distance Matrix
Calculates travel distance and time for a matrix of origins and destinations. supports different modes of transportation and options like departure/arrival times. use when needing to determine travel metrics between multiple points.
Why this helps
Adding or removing reviewers can change where a review session should happen, but travel impact is easy to miss.
- Rechecks logistics when participants change
- Supports better meeting-location decisions
- Reduces coordination loops
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Maps to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation telling Notis to calculate travel times between the review participants' relevant locations when requested reviewers change.
- 3Select the GitHub pull request reviewers changed trigger and choose a reporting channel.
- 4Test with a pull request that has more than one reviewer location in its context.
Questions about this workflow
Why use a distance matrix?
It compares travel distance and time across multiple origins and destinations, which suits multi-person coordination.
Does GitHub provide participant addresses?
No. The automation relies on locations already available in the issue or your configured context and should not infer private addresses.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Google Maps. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Geocoding, Reverse Geocoding, and Place ID Lookup
Deprecated: tool to convert addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and vice versa (reverse geocoding), or get an address for a place id. use for finding coordinates for an address, finding an address for coordinates, or looking up an address by its place id.
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.
Get directions
Fetches detailed directions between an origin and a destination, supporting intermediate waypoints and various travel modes.
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 Route
Calculates one or more routes between two specified locations using various travel modes and preferences; addresses must be resolvable by google maps.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Embed Google Map
Tool to generate an embeddable google map url and html iframe code. use when you need to display a map (place, view, directions, street view, search) on a webpage without javascript.
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.
Nearby search
Searches for places (e.g., restaurants, parks) within a specified circular area, with options to filter by place types and customize the returned fields and number of results.
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.
Text Search
Searches for places on google maps using a textual query (e.g., "restaurants in london", "eiffel tower").
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.
