Connect new customer issues to the right Intercom context
A new issue should make the related customer context easier to find.
Trigger
New Issue Created
Triggers when a new issue is created in a GitHub repository. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues produce events. Results can be filtered by labels, assignee, creator, and mentioned user. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, comment count, creator details, timestamps, and direct links to the issue on GitHub.
Action
Add tag to a contact
You can tag a specific contact. this will return a tag object for the tag that was added to the contact.
Why this helps
Customer concerns become harder to track when GitHub issues and Intercom contacts use separate signals.
- Adds consistent context to relevant Intercom contacts.
- Makes related customer concerns easier to filter and review.
- Reduces manual tagging after issue creation.
Setup

- 1Connect GitHub and Intercom to Notis once through the portal.

- 3Use this instruction: When a new GitHub issue matches a customer, product area, or bug category, add the corresponding tag to the matching Intercom contact and include the issue link in an internal note.
- 4Select the new issue created trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real matching issue.
