Check repository access from a simple request
Send Notis a GitHub repository and username to check collaborator status and report the result.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a user is a repository collaborator
Checks if a user is a collaborator on a specified github repository, returning a 204 status if they are, or a 404 status if they are not or if the repository/user does not exist.
Why this helps
Access checks interrupt focused work when you have to inspect repository settings manually.
- Confirm repository access without opening settings
- Make access checks easy to request
- Receive the result in your chosen report channel
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 0CodeKit and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to check whether the username in each request is a collaborator on the specified repository.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real repository and username.

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.
