Give an asset pipeline access to its repository
When a new repository joins an Apiframe powered workflow, grant the designated GitHub App installation access to it.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
A pipeline handoff can pause while someone manually updates which repositories an installed app can reach.
- Keeps app access aligned with a repository handoff
- Automates a repetitive administrative step
- Makes the requested repository explicit in the webhook
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apiframe and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction when to add the named repository to the existing GitHub App installation.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real handoff request and an installation the authenticated user can manage.
Questions about this workflow
Does this install a GitHub App?
No. It adds a repository to an existing app installation. The authenticated user needs admin rights on the repository and access to that installation.
Can the workflow choose an installation automatically?
The request or instruction needs to identify the intended installation and repository.

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.
