Notis

Apply approved collaborator access changes

Keep access changes moving from approval to GitHub with the repository and intended permission described in the request.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

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.

Why this helps

Permission changes are easy to forget after approval, leaving access out of step with team responsibilities.

  • Apply approved access changes promptly
  • Reduce manual permission follow-up
  • Keep repository access aligned with responsibilities

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, identify the repository, collaborator, and approved permission change.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one approved access change and review the outcome.

Questions about this workflow

Does the permission field work on every repository?

The permission field applies to organization-owned repositories. Personal repositories default to push and ignore that field.

What if the user is not already a collaborator?

The action can add the user as a collaborator and may create an invitation.
