Add GitHub access for a new contractor
Make access requests explicit and repeatable when a new specialist joins the team.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Access setup gets delayed because the founder has to remember repositories, usernames, and permission decisions separately.
- Shortens onboarding time
- Creates a clear access request trail
- Reduces permission mistakes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations -> New Automation or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When an approved contractor access request arrives through 2chat, add the named GitHub user to the specified repository with the approved permission.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and report channel, then test with one approved request.
Questions about this workflow
Can this require approval first?
Yes. Make the webhook available only to your approved onboarding process and state that approval is required.
Can access be added to more than one repository?
Yes. Include the approved repository list in the incoming request or instruction.

2chat triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
