Add a repository to an organization variable's access list
Process repository access requests for an existing Actions variable with one instruction that captures the approved change.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add selected repository to an organization variable
Grants a repository access to an organization-level github actions variable, if that variable's visibility is set to 'selected repositories'.
Why this helps
Variable access requests can be overlooked, slowing automation that depends on shared configuration.
- Move approved variable access changes forward
- Keep repository access lists current
- Reduce manual settings follow-up
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 organization variable and repository to add from the approved request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one approved request and check the variable access list.

Recurring trigger

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Apilio and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
