Extend app access to approved repositories
When new repositories join an image accessibility process, a scheduled instruction can keep their app access current.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
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.
Why this helps
New repositories may be left out of the app installation and miss the intended workflow support.
- Keeps approved repository access requests moving
- Reduces manual updates to installation settings
- Supports consistent onboarding for image workflows
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 which approved repositories to add and identify the existing installation.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real repository and verify the installation access.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation discover repositories that should be added?
Only if the relevant list is available to the workflow. Otherwise, specify the repositories in your instruction or provide them through another process.
What permissions are required?
The authenticated user needs admin rights for the repository and access to the GitHub App installation.

Notis builds workflows that link AltTextLab to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

GitHub actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
