Review portfolio GitHub access using Affinity records
Let a scheduled check compare the repository and GitHub username recorded in Affinity with current collaborator status in GitHub.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
It takes focus and repeated context switching to verify whether promised repository access is in place.
- Check explicit repository and user pairs on a recurring schedule.
- Surface access that may still need attention.
- Keep the audit grounded in records already maintained in Affinity.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinity and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to read Affinity records with explicit GitHub repositories and usernames, check collaborator status, and summarize results.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose its schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Affinity record for a repository and GitHub user.
Questions about this workflow
Can this verify access for every Affinity contact automatically?
Only records that provide a repository and GitHub username can be checked reliably. Add those details to Affinity or have the automation report missing references.
What does a failed collaborator check mean?
GitHub may return not found when the user is not a collaborator or when the repository or username is invalid. Review the report and verify the source details.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Affinity to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Affinity triggers
GitHub actions
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.
