Update app access restrictions on a protected branch

Submit the approved app list and let Notis replace the protected branch's GitHub app 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

Branch protection settings can drift when approved app changes are handled manually.

  • Apply approved app restriction changes from a request
  • Reduce manual branch protection updates
  • Keep a report of each change

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 to replace the protected branch app restrictions with the approved app list in each webhook request.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real protected branch request.
