Check repository access during an ApptiveGrid handoff
Get a quick collaborator check in the run report before a handoff needs more access work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a user is a repository collaborator
Checks if a user is a collaborator on a specified github repository, returning a 204 status if they are, or a 404 status if they are not or if the repository/user does not exist.
Why this helps
Teams can lose time when a handoff assumes someone has repository access without checking.
- Confirm collaborator status from supplied repository and username details.
- Surface access uncertainty early in a handoff.
- Keep the result with the Notis run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ApptiveGrid and GitHub to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to check whether the supplied user is a collaborator on the supplied repository and report the outcome.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real username and repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does a not-found response prove the user is not a collaborator?
The check returns not found when the user is not a collaborator or when the repository or user does not exist, so verify those details if the result is unexpected.
Does this add access?
No. It checks collaborator status and reports the result.

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.
