Set installed app access for a protected branch
Pass the exact installed app slugs and protected branch details to update its app access restrictions.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
An automation app may be ready to help but excluded from a protected branch's access rules.
- Makes an approved app access change actionable
- Keeps branch app restrictions explicit
- Reduces manual edits to protected branch settings
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AltTextLab and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe the repository, protected branch, and complete JSON array of installed app slugs to allow.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the branch's app access restrictions.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add apps to the existing restrictions?
No. It replaces the restrictions with the supplied app slug list. The apps must be installed and have contents write permissions.
What should the request include?
Identify the repository, protected branch, and complete set of app slugs that should be allowed.

Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
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.
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.
