Audit GitHub team access when Airtable views disappear

Delete an obsolete Airtable view, and Notis automatically audits whether your GitHub team still needs access to related repositories—catching orphaned permissions you'd forget about.

Trigger

View Deleted

Triggers when a previously known Airtable view is deleted.

Action

Check team permissions for a repository

Checks a team's permissions for a specific repository within an organization, including permissions inherited from parent teams.

Why this helps

You clean up old Airtable views from a concluded project, but the GitHub team still has repo access they no longer need. Months later, during a security audit, you find these orphaned permissions.

  • Automatic audit trails when your Airtable structure changes
  • Catches orphaned GitHub permissions before security reviews
  • Reduces manual audit work and compliance risk

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airtable and GitHub to Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis: 'When a view in my Airtable base is deleted, check if my [team name] GitHub team still needs repo access to the related projects' or use the portal.
  • 3Select 'View Deleted' as your trigger.
  • 4Choose your notification channel.
  • 5Review the audit reports Notis sends and follow up on any orphaned permissions it flags.

Questions about this workflow

How does Notis know which GitHub repos relate to a deleted Airtable view?

Tell it in your setup: 'The view is called Q3-Roadmap and the related repos are frontend, backend, and api.'

Can this automation revoke permissions automatically?

Yes. Update your prompt to: 'Revoke [team name] access from [repos]' and Notis will do it without asking.

Does this trigger for all view deletions or only specific ones?

Specify: 'Only for views that have names like Q*-* or archived-*' if you want to limit which deletions trigger the audit.

Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.

ActionInstant

Base Schema Changed

Triggers when an Airtable view changes its name or type.

TriggerPolling

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.
