Check collaborator access for users found in Apify research
Turn a relevant Apify research result into a targeted GitHub collaborator check and a concise report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a user is a repository collaborator
Checks if a user is a collaborator on a specified github repository, returning a 204 status if they are, or a 404 status if they are not or if the repository/user does not exist.
Why this helps
Verifying access across research notes and GitHub repositories takes manual searching and can interrupt focused work.
- Check a specified user against a specified repository.
- Keep access review results with the source research context.
- Reduce repeated manual collaborator lookups.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Apify and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for collaborator checks.
- 3Tell Notis to extract the username and repository from the incoming result, check collaborator status, and report the returned outcome.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real result and a repository where you can confirm the expected outcome.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow add or remove collaborators?
No. The selected action only checks whether the specified user is a collaborator.
What if the user or repository is missing?
The check can return not found when the user or repository does not exist, so include the exact repository and username in the incoming data.
Does Apify provide a native trigger for this?
No. Start the workflow with a Notis webhook that receives the relevant result.

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.
