Turn confirmed Amcards contributor interest into GitHub access
Reduce the gap between contributor outreach and repository access. Send a confirmed response to Notis and invite the identified GitHub user as a collaborator.
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
A positive reply to contributor outreach can be easy to lose while someone manually follows up with repository access.
- Turns a confirmed contributor response into a repository invitation.
- Uses the repository and GitHub username supplied in the request.
- Keeps uncertain identities out of access changes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Amcards and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to add the identified GitHub user as a collaborator only when the Amcards response confirms interest and names the repository and username.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real confirmed contributor response and a repository where you can manage collaborators.
Questions about this workflow
Does a card response alone grant repository access?
The webhook request should represent a confirmed response and include the GitHub username and repository. Ask Notis to skip unclear or unconfirmed responses.
What permission will the collaborator receive?
For personal repositories, GitHub defaults to push access and ignores the permission field. For organization-owned repositories, the permission can be applied if provided and supported.

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.
