Assign Code Reviewers Directly from Telegram
You've been thinking about a code review all morning. Instead of context-switching to GitHub, type a message in your Telegram group and Notis assigns the reviewers. Code review stays in motion.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
Add assignees to an issue
Adds or removes assignees for a github issue; changes are silently ignored if the authenticated user lacks push access to the repository.
Why this helps
Context-switching to GitHub to assign reviewers breaks flow and causes code reviews to linger. Neurodivergent founders need review cycles to stay tight and automatic.
- Assign reviewers without leaving Telegram—no tab-switching required
- Code reviews stay in your async Telegram loop instead of disappearing into GitHub
- Reviewers get assigned consistently, preventing dropped review requests
- Reduces cognitive overhead of manually navigating GitHub UI
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your Telegram and GitHub accounts to Notis via the portal.
- 2In the Notis portal, create a new automation with the prompt: 'When I send a message in Telegram mentioning a reviewer name or GitHub username, add that person as an assignee to the issue I reference.'
- 3Select Telegram (New Message) as your trigger and choose a Notis channel where you'll get run confirmations.
- 4Test by sending a message like 'Review #42 @alice' in your Telegram group and confirm the assignee appears on GitHub.
Questions about this workflow
What if the issue doesn't exist yet?
Notis will let you know in Telegram. You can create the issue first or ask Notis to create it as a follow-up in the same message.
Can I assign multiple reviewers at once?
Yes. List the names or usernames in your Telegram message and Notis will assign all of them.
Does the reviewer get notified?
GitHub sends them the standard assignment notification, just as if you'd done it manually in the UI.

New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
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.
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Message Edited
Triggered when a message in a chat your bot can see is edited by its sender.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
New Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
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.
