Prepare a GitHub runner for a specific Appcircle build
A build request can help keep the intended self-hosted runner easy to identify with a useful custom label.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add runner labels
Adds and appends custom labels to a self-hosted repository runner, which must be registered and active.
Why this helps
Special build requirements can be missed when the runner expected to handle them is hard to distinguish.
- Connects a build request to a named runner
- Adds a custom label without disrupting existing labels
- Makes special runner requirements easier to find
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 add the specified custom label to the named active GitHub repository runner when the Appcircle build request requires it.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real build request and confirm the runner is registered and active.
Questions about this workflow
Does adding a label start an Appcircle build?
No. This workflow acts in GitHub by adding a label to a runner. It does not trigger an Appcircle build.
Will it remove other custom labels?
No. It adds the label and leaves existing labels in place.

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.
