Assign GitHub organization roles based on Airtable profile changes
Promote a team member from 'contributor' to 'tech lead' in Airtable, and Notis automatically assigns them the 'Maintainer' role in GitHub—org structure stays synchronized.
Trigger
User Profile Changed
Triggers when the connected Airtable user's profile information changes.
Action
Assign an organization role to a user
Assigns a specific organization role to a user who is a member or an outside collaborator in a github organization, using a valid role id.
Why this helps
You update someone's title or role in Airtable from junior to senior developer, but they still have the old GitHub organization role. Permissions don't reflect their actual responsibilities.
- GitHub org roles automatically match your Airtable team structure
- No delay between promotion and access updates
- Clear authority and permissions aligned with current roles
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When someone's role in my Airtable team table changes from [role A] to [role B], assign them the [GitHub org role] in GitHub' or use the portal builder.
- 3Select 'User Profile Changed' as your trigger.
- 4Pick your notification channel.
- 5Test by updating someone's Airtable profile and confirming their GitHub org role updates.
Questions about this workflow
What GitHub organization roles can I assign?
Member, Billing Manager, or custom organization roles if you've defined them. Notis supports any role your org has.
Can I map multiple Airtable roles to different GitHub roles?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'If role = Senior Dev, assign GitHub role = Maintainer. If role = Junior Dev, assign = Member.'
What if someone is in multiple Airtable teams?
Specify which Airtable table/base Notis should watch for profile changes, and Notis applies the matching rule.

Airtable triggers
GitHub actions
Base Metadata Changed
Triggers when an existing Airtable base changes its name or permission level.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Base Schema Changed
Triggers when tables, fields, or views change in an Airtable base.
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.
User Profile Changed
Triggers when the connected Airtable user's profile information changes.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
View Created
Triggers when a new view is created in an Airtable base.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
View Deleted
Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.
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.
View Metadata Changed
Triggers when an Airtable view changes its name or type.
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.
