Move access requests from Outline to GitHub
The request is documented once. Notis turns it into a precise GitHub collaboration action.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add a repository collaborator
Add a user as a repository collaborator or update their access.
Why this helps
Access requests sit in documentation while repository permissions remain outdated or incomplete.
- Shortens contributor onboarding
- Keeps permission requests tied to written context
- Reduces forgotten repository invitations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outline and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction: when an approved contributor request arrives from Outline, add the named person to the specified GitHub repository with the requested permission and report the result.
- 4Choose the incoming webhook trigger and a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one approved request.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow handle permission levels?
Yes. Include the requested permission in the plain-language instruction and require Notis to report ambiguity.
Should approval happen before the webhook?
Yes. Send only approved requests to avoid granting unintended access.
