Bring transaction evidence into expense triage
Notis uses the issue's date and vendor context to retrieve a bounded transaction list for investigation.
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
List Transactions
Tool to list transactions in a budget. Use when you need all or delta-filtered transactions after confirming the budget. Omitting all filters returns the full transaction history, which may produce large payloads; prefer since_date, type, or last_knowledge_of_server to scope results.
Why this helps
Resolving a disputed charge means repeatedly switching between the issue and the budget history.
- Collects likely evidence as the issue opens
- Scopes transaction retrieval to avoid an overwhelming history dump
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and YNAB to Notis once.
- 2Ask Notis to retrieve a tightly dated transaction list for new issues labeled expense-dispute.
- 3Choose New Issue Created, select a private report channel, and test with a known transaction.
Questions about this workflow
Will it retrieve my entire transaction history?
It should not. State that Notis must use the issue's date and a narrow since-date window.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Ynab. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Ynab actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create a new account in a budget
Tool to create a new account in a budget. Use when you need to add a manual (non-linked) account to a specific budget.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Scheduled Transaction
Creates a scheduled (recurring) transaction in a YNAB budget. Use this to set up bills, recurring expenses, or income that repeats on a schedule. Requires an account_id (from YNAB_LIST_ACCOUNTS), a date, frequency, and amount in milliunits.
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.
Delete Scheduled Transaction
Permanently deletes a scheduled transaction from a YNAB budget. Use this when a recurring transaction is no longer needed. This action cannot be undone. Obtain the scheduled_transaction_id from list_scheduled_transactions or get_scheduled_transaction_by_id before calling this.
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.
Get Account by ID
Tool to retrieve a single account resource. Use when you need details of a specific account by its ID after determining the budget.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get Budget By ID
Retrieve a complete budget export by ID, including all accounts, categories, payees, and transactions. Use this tool when you need comprehensive budget data. The response includes: - Budget metadata (name, date/currency formats) - All accounts with balances - Category groups and categories with budgeted amounts and balances - All payees - All transactions and scheduled transactions (optional, may be large) For incremental syncing, use last_knowledge_of_server to only fetch changes since your last request. Note: Currency amounts are in 'milliunits' format (divide by 1000 for standard units).
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.
Get Budget Month
Tool to retrieve a specific budget month. Use when you need detailed summary and category budgets for a given month after confirming the budget ID. Monetary amounts are returned in milliunits (divide by 1000 for standard currency). Response includes high-level aggregates and a nested category array within the month payload for per-category budget analysis.
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.
Get Budget Settings
Tool to retrieve budget-level settings. Use when you need to fetch currency and date formatting preferences for a specific budget.
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.
Get Category by ID
Retrieve a single YNAB budget category by its ID. Use this to get detailed category information including budgeted amounts, activity, balance, and goal settings. Amounts are returned for the current budget month (UTC). Requires both budget_id and category_id - use 'last-used' or 'default' for budget_id if you don't have a specific budget ID.
