Validate issue handoffs before they become blockers
A quick preflight catches the access problem before it interrupts execution.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check if a user can be assigned to an issue
Checks if a specified github user can be assigned to a given issue within a repository.
Why this helps
The founder assumes an issue handoff is complete until the assignee discovers they cannot be assigned.
- Catches issue-level blockers
- Makes delegation more reliable
- Reduces back-and-forth
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Monday and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: Each morning, validate whether the planned assignee can be assigned to the GitHub issue referenced by each Monday item due this week and report exceptions.
- 4Pick a recurring daily trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with one due item.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from checking repository access?
It validates the person against the specific GitHub issue, not only the repository.
Can it focus on due items?
Yes. Specify the Monday due-date scope in the instruction.

GitHub actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
Monday and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
