Get a weekly report on your GitHub follow status
Every Monday, Notis checks if you're following your team leads, collaborators, and key open-source maintainers on GitHub—never lose track of who you meant to follow.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check if a user follows another user
Checks if a github user `username` follows `target user`; returns a 204 http status if true, 404 if not or if users are invalid.
Why this helps
You meet someone at a conference or start working with a collaborator, tell yourself to follow them on GitHub, then forget. Your GitHub follows don't represent your actual professional network.
- Stay organized about your professional GitHub connections
- Catch follow gaps without manual profile browsing
- Identify key people you should be following but aren't
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis via the portal.
- 2Ask Notis: 'Every Monday morning, tell me who I should be following on GitHub but haven't yet' or create via portal builder.
- 3Select 'Notis Cron' as your trigger and set weekly schedule.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Review the first report and follow any people you've overlooked.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know who you should follow?
You specify criteria: 'People who work at my company', 'Open-source maintainers I collaborate with', or 'People in these GitHub organizations.'
Can I automatically follow people based on criteria?
What if I don't want to follow someone even if they meet the criteria?
Notis will flag them in the report, and you can dismiss them. Notis learns your preferences over time.

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
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Airtable and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
