Apply approved repository access requests in GitHub
Carry an approved access decision into the repository without re-entering the user and repo details.
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
Approved access requests can sit waiting while someone repeats the same details in GitHub.
- Shortens the gap between approval and repository access.
- Keeps the access change connected to its request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appdrag and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation that adds the specified GitHub user as a collaborator when an access request is approved.
- 3Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one real approved request that identifies the repository and username.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow decide whether access is approved?
No. The incoming request must already represent an approved decision.
What permissions will the collaborator receive?
For personal repositories, the action defaults to push access. For organization repositories, the request can specify a permission level.

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.
