Make new GitHub followers easier to recognize
Spot familiar names without turning every new follower into a research task.
Trigger
Follower Changes
Triggers when new followers are detected on your GitHub account.
Action
Compare Name Similarity
The 'name similarity' tool compares two entity names (person, location, or organization) and returns a similarity score between 0 and 1 to indicate if the names are similar. it is useful for tasks such as record linkage, identity resolution, and data deduplication.
Why this helps
New followers are easy to miss, while checking each one manually competes with higher-value work.
- Highlights possible existing relationships.
- Supports timely, focused outreach decisions.
- Cuts down on repetitive name searches.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Rosette text analytics to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: Compare each new GitHub follower name with my supplied reference names and report likely matches with the follower profile link.
- 4Pick the GitHub Follower Changes trigger and select the channel for reports.
- 5Test it with one newly detected follower.

Identify Language
This tool identifies the natural language of a given text. it takes a string of text as input and returns the detected language along with a confidence score. optional parameters include specifying a genre (e.g., "social-media"), providing a list of language codes to constrain the identification, and indicating whether to include user-defined languages.
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.
Compare Name Similarity
The 'name similarity' tool compares two entity names (person, location, or organization) and returns a similarity score between 0 and 1 to indicate if the names are similar. it is useful for tasks such as record linkage, identity resolution, and data deduplication.
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.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
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.
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.
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.
