Handle repository access after onboarding appointments
Turn an approved onboarding handoff into a GitHub collaborator invitation with the repository and user clearly identified.
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
Access requests discussed in onboarding can be forgotten or applied to the wrong repository.
- Keep the access handoff connected to the onboarding process.
- Apply access only when the request names the user and repository.
- Get a run report for invitations or permission updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appointo and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to process only approved onboarding requests that identify the GitHub username and repository, then add that user as a collaborator.
- 4Choose the notis_webhook trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real approved request and verify the repository and user before relying on it.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer who should get access from an appointment attendee?
Do not rely on inference. The request should explicitly identify an approved GitHub username and repository.
Does this action set a permission level?
For personal repositories, GitHub defaults to push access and ignores the permission field. Organization repositories can use the supported permission setting.

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.
