Hands-Free Weekly Team Rotations
Let Notis manage team rotations on schedule. Every week, new people get assigned to review duties, on-call shifts, or project ownership—automatically.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add or update team membership for a user
Adds a github user to a team or updates their role (member or maintainer), inviting them to the organization if not already a member; idempotent, returning current details if no change is made.
Why this helps
You want to rotate responsibilities fairly, but manually updating GitHub team membership every week is tedious and easy to forget.
- Avoid burnout through fair responsibility rotation
- Remove manual team management overhead
- Ensure consistent coverage across the team
- Simple audit trail of who did what and when
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create a cron automation: "Every Monday at 9am, rotate GitHub team assignments. Move [Person A] to reviewer role, [Person B] to on-call, etc."
- 3List the team members and their rotation order.
- 4Notis will cycle through them and update their roles in GitHub each week.
Questions about this workflow
What if someone is on vacation during their rotation week?
You can temporarily skip them in Notis, or set a rule like 'skip rotations during June and December'.
Can I rotate across multiple teams?
Yes. Notis can manage rotations for review teams, on-call teams, and project leads all at once.
Does Notis notify the team of rotation changes?
Yes, and you can customize the message Notis sends via Slack, email, or Telegram.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Gmail to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Gmail triggers
GitHub actions
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Gmail and GitHub. Any combination from 985+ integrations.
