Approve trusted fork CI from email

Keep trusted contributions moving without babysitting pull request alerts.

Trigger

New Email Received

Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox

Action

Approve a workflow run for a fork pull request

Approves a workflow run from a forked repository's pull request; call this when such a run requires manual approval due to workflow configuration.

Why this helps

A safe contributor waits on a routine CI approval while the founder is deep in another task.

  • Shortens contributor wait time
  • Avoids constant pull request checking

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agent Mail and GitHub to Notis once.
  • 2Create a new automation in the portal.
  • 3Ask Notis to approve a fork workflow only for trusted contributors and repositories named in the email.
  • 4Pick New Email Received, choose where run reports go, and test with an approved safe example.

Questions about this workflow

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.

ActionInstant

ActionInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Not just Agent mail and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
