Automate Daily Issue Assignment Based on Standup
Each morning, instead of manually assigning work in standup, Notis looks at open issues and assigns them fairly based on who needs work. Your team starts their day with clear ownership.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Neurodivergent founders struggle with synchronous standups and daily manual assignment. Asynchronous, automated assignment prevents decision fatigue and ensures balanced workload.
- Issues are assigned every morning without human decision-making
- Team members see their work clearly at the start of the day
- Prevents the burnout of daily assignment meetings
- Workload stays balanced automatically across your team
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'Every weekday at 8am, look at open GitHub issues in our repo marked as ready and assign them fairly to active team members based on their recent workload.'
- 3Select Notis Cron (Daily at 8am on weekdays) as your trigger.
- 4Test by setting the cron to run in 5 minutes, and confirm issues are assigned as expected.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis decide who gets which issue?
You can configure this in the automation prompt—by alphabetical order, by recent workload, by expertise, or any other rule you define.
Can I skip days or change the time?
Yes. Adjust the cron schedule in your automation—run it weekdays only, on weekends, at any time you prefer.
What if someone is on vacation?
Mention vacation days in the automation and Notis will skip that person during assignment.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Telegram to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Telegram triggers
GitHub actions
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.
