Carry repository approvals through to GitHub app access
Once repository access is approved, send the repository and app installation details to Notis to grant the app access it needs.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Approved repository access requests can be delayed while someone manually updates a GitHub app installation.
- Reduce manual steps between approval and app access.
- Grant access only for the repository and installation named in the request.
- Keep the access change visible 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 repository in the request to its specified GitHub app installation.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real approved access request to the webhook and review the run report.

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
