Keep protected branch team access current

Apply your current team access list to a protected branch on a schedule, with the full team list stated in one instruction.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Add team access restrictions

Overwrites the list of teams (and their child teams) granted push access to a protected branch; the list of team slugs must be provided in the http post request body.

Why this helps

Protected branch access grows stale as teams change, leaving unclear ownership of who can push.

  • Keep branch push access aligned with current teams
  • Apply a complete team list consistently
  • Reduce manual restriction updates

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Apilio and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3In one instruction, specify the protected branch and complete list of team slugs allowed to push.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one protected branch and confirm the resulting team list.

Questions about this workflow

Does this add teams to the existing list?

No. The action overwrites the list of teams and their child teams granted push access.

What should the instruction include?

Name the protected branch and the complete list of team slugs that should have push access.

ActionInstant

List stargazers

ActionInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Apilio and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
