Notis

Apply collaborator permission changes in GitHub

Send a permission change request to Notis and update the collaborator on the specified repository.

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

Permission changes can be approved but left unapplied when they rely on a manual follow-up.

  • Close the gap between approval and permission update
  • Apply repository access changes from a clear request
  • Get a report for each update

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 add or update the specified collaborator using the approved repository and permission details in each request.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real permission change request.

Questions about this workflow

Can it update an existing collaborator?
