Carry approved account email updates into GitHub
An approved account update can supply the email address to add to the authenticated GitHub account, without a separate manual reminder.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Approved account changes can be forgotten when the update has to be repeated in another service.
- Reduce repeat entry for approved account updates.
- Use the email address supplied by the approved request.
- Keep the action's outcome in the Notis run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2In Automations, choose New Automation and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to add the approved email address in the account update request to the authenticated GitHub account.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real approved account update example to the webhook and review the run report.

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.
