Turn approved access requests into GitHub collaboration
Aryn can extract the approved request details so Notis can add the named collaborator to the specified repository.
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 wait while someone manually copies usernames and repository details into GitHub.
- Move approved access requests forward with less re-entry.
- Require the source to name the person and repository.
- Make the GitHub change traceable to a request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Aryn and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use Aryn to verify that the request explicitly records approval, then add the named GitHub user to the named repository as a collaborator.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approved request and confirm the username and repository are explicit.
Questions about this workflow
Will it add access when the document is only a request?
No. Instruct Notis to proceed only when the document explicitly records approval. The source must also identify the user and repository.
What permission will the collaborator receive?
For personal repositories, GitHub uses its default push permission. For organization-owned repositories, the action supports a permission value; specify it in the instruction when appropriate.

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.
Aryn and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
