Trigger

Why this helps
Assigned work often requires follow-up with the requester, but their details are easy to leave buried in GitHub.
- Preserves a reachable follow-up contact.
- Reduces repeated searching through issue history.
- Supports faster clarification and delegation.

Questions about this workflow
What if GitHub has no phone number?
Notis can report that contact details are incomplete instead of inventing a number.
