Automate GitHub email registration via webhook
Your identity management system provisions a new employee account, sends a webhook to Notis, which automatically adds their work email to GitHub—no manual profile editing.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
You onboard a new team member, set up their Airtable and GitHub accounts, but forget to add their work email to GitHub. Weeks later, notifications go to their old email.
- Email addresses added to GitHub during onboarding, not weeks later
- Notifications go to the right inbox immediately
- Reduces onboarding friction for new team members
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis via the portal.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When you receive a webhook with a GitHub username and email, add that email to the GitHub account' or use the portal builder.
- 3Select 'Notis Webhook' as your trigger—Notis generates a unique webhook URL.
- 4Point your identity management system (Okta, Azure AD, custom script) to that webhook URL with the user data.
- 5Test by sending a webhook with a GitHub username and email, confirming the email is added to the GitHub profile.
Questions about this workflow
What should my email webhook payload look like?
Send {"github_username": "alice", "email": "alice@company.com"}. Notis adds the email to that GitHub account.
Can I add multiple emails at once?
Yes. Include an array: {"github_username": "alice", "emails": ["alice@company.com", "alice@oldcompany.com"]}.
What if the email is already registered to another GitHub account?
Notis will skip it or notify you, depending on how you configure the automation. GitHub doesn't allow duplicate emails.

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

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.
