Update GitHub Profile Links from a Request

Send Notis the social URLs you want to add and review the run report after the authenticated profile is updated.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Add social accounts for the authenticated user

Adds one or more social media links (which must be valid, full urls for platforms supported by github) to the authenticated user's public github profile.

Why this helps

Profile upkeep is easy to defer when it is one more task outside the work you are focused on.

  • Handle profile link updates from an incoming request.
  • Add multiple valid social links in one action.
  • Keep the update easy to review in a run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Api labz and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction which supported social URLs to add to the authenticated public profile.
  • 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real profile link update.
