Make GitHub runners easier to match to Appcircle builds
Use build patterns to keep an active repository runner's custom labels aligned with the work it supports.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add runner labels
Adds and appends custom labels to a self-hosted repository runner, which must be registered and active.
Why this helps
Runner labels can fall out of step with changing build needs, making the right capacity harder to identify.
- Keeps runner labels tied to observed build needs
- Adds custom labels without removing existing labels
- Makes a registered active runner easier to identify
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appcircle and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to review recent Appcircle build needs and add specified descriptive labels to the named active GitHub repository runner.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real runner and confirm it is registered and active.

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