Acknowledge Issue Assignments Instantly
The moment an issue lands on your plate, Notis sends it to WhatsApp with quick-choice buttons. Accept it, defer it, or ask for clarification without opening GitHub.
Trigger
New Issue Assigned to Me
Triggers when a new issue is assigned to the authenticated user. Fires an event for each GitHub issue that is newly assigned to the authenticated user. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues are emitted. Issues can optionally be filtered by labels and state. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, creator, repository details, and timestamps.
Action
Send interactive buttons
Send an interactive button message to a whatsapp number. button messages allow users to quickly respond by tapping up to 3 predefined buttons. perfect for yes/no questions, quick choices, or call-to-action scenarios. note: the message will be delivered to the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
You get assigned an issue but then forget about it, or you're not sure if you can take it right now. Without a quick confirmation mechanism, work accumulates untracked.
- Accept or defer work instantly without context-switching
- Track what you've committed to directly from WhatsApp
- Signal to the team whether you can start immediately
- Prevent silently dropped assignments
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and WhatsApp to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When an issue is assigned to me, send an interactive message on WhatsApp with buttons for Accept, Defer, and Ask More'.
- 3Notis will send interactive buttons (2-3 options) when the trigger fires.
- 4Test by assigning yourself an issue and reply with one of the buttons.
- 5Watch how Notis records your responses and confirm the workflow fits your triage style.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the button labels?
Absolutely. Tell Notis what buttons you want: 'I'll work on this today', 'Schedule for next week', 'Need more info', or custom labels that fit your workflow.
What happens when I tap a button?
Notis records your response and can optionally update the issue on GitHub (add a label, move it to a project, or notify the assignee).
Will this work if I'm assigned via mentions instead of direct assignment?
The trigger is specifically for direct assignment. If you want mentions too, ask Notis to expand the trigger scope and it can monitor your mentions as well.
