Handle GitHub Account Email Updates from a Request
Send Notis a request to add an account email, then review the action report and follow up on verification as needed.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Account maintenance gets postponed when a small email update is easy to forget among other setup tasks.
- Handle account email updates from a request.
- Add one or more addresses in a single action.
- Keep verification follow-up visible in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Api labz and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create and name an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis in one instruction which submitted email addresses to add to the authenticated account.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real email update request.
Questions about this workflow
Are added addresses verified right away?
No. Added email addresses are initially unverified.
What if an email is already on another GitHub account?
GitHub returns an error when an email verified for another account is submitted. An existing email on the current account is accepted.

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.
