Bring the right reviewer into the repository
When an image needs a specialist's eyes, pass the repository and username to Notis to request collaborator access.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Finding and inviting a reviewer can delay accessibility work when the request gets routed through separate tools.
- Shortens the handoff to a specified reviewer
- Keeps repository access requests connected to the work
- Reduces manual coordination
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 in one instruction how to use the repository, username, and permission details supplied with the request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real review request and check the resulting invitation or permission update.
Questions about this workflow
Will GitHub grant access without an invitation?
GitHub may create an invitation or update permissions, depending on the repository and existing collaborator status. Organization-owned repositories also use the requested permission level.
Can I use this for any reviewer?
Use it for a specified GitHub user and repository where the connected account has the required rights. Include those details in the incoming request or instruction.

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.
