Turn GitHub Issues into Notion Tasks Without the Friction
Stop toggling between GitHub and Notion to log issues. Each new issue automatically appears as a task in your Notion workspace with the title, description, and metadata captured in seconds.
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
Insert row database
Creates a new page (row) in a specified notion database.
Why this helps
Every GitHub issue requires manual entry into your task system, creating cognitive overhead and dropped balls when urgency spikes.
- Automatically log new issues without switching apps
- Reduce cognitive load by centralizing task visibility
- Capture issue metadata (assignees, labels, body) in your system of record
- Never miss an issue again with instant Notion entry
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Notion to Notis via your portal (one-time setup).
- 2Ask Notis: 'Create an automation where new GitHub issues become tasks in my main task database.'
- 3Select the 'New Issue Created' trigger and choose your preferred notification channel.
- 4Test by creating a new GitHub issue in your repository; verify it appears as a Notion task within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Will this capture private issues only or all issues?
Notis captures all new issues in the repository you configured, including private ones if the GitHub integration has access.
Can I filter which issues become tasks (e.g., only bugs or assigned to me)?
Yes. Tell Notis in plain language, such as 'Only create tasks for issues labeled with bug or priority' and it will apply that filter.
Will the Notion task update if the GitHub issue changes?
This automation creates a task at the moment an issue is created. To sync ongoing changes, create a second automation for issue updates.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Notion 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.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
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.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
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.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
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 comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
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 Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
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.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
