Maintain repository access to Dependabot secrets
Use a scheduled workflow to grant access to the repositories that need an existing Dependabot secret.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add selected repo to org secret
Grants an existing repository access to an existing organization-level dependabot secret; the repository must belong to the organization, and the call succeeds without change if access already exists.
Why this helps
A secret access list can fall out of date as repositories are added to an organization.
- Keep a known repository list connected to the secret
- Reduce repetitive access updates
- Review run results through Notis reports
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Anthropic administrator and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis which existing organization Dependabot secret and repositories should receive access.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real repository and secret.
Questions about this workflow
Can a repository from another organization be added?
No. The repository must belong to the organization that owns the secret.
Does the action fail if the repository already has access?
It succeeds without change when access already exists.

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Anthropic administrator and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
