Automate GitHub Collaborator Access from Asana Task Assignment
A new task is assigned to a team member in Asana, but they don't have access to the GitHub repo yet. Notis adds them as a collaborator automatically.
Trigger
New Task Created
Fires when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Add a repository collaborator
Add a user as a repository collaborator or update their access.
Why this helps
New team members assigned to Asana tasks don't automatically get GitHub access, requiring manual invitation and causing access delays.
- Onboarding is faster—new team members get repo access automatically
- Reduces manual access requests and admin overhead
- Prevents work bottlenecks caused by missing permissions
- Simplifies team scaling for fast-growing startups
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When a new task is created and assigned to someone in Asana, add that person as a collaborator to the GitHub repository.'
- 3Choose your notification channel and save.
- 4Test by creating a task in Asana, assigning it to a teammate, and verifying they appear as a collaborator in GitHub.
Questions about this workflow
What if the Asana assignee doesn't have a GitHub account?
Notis will either skip the invitation or notify you so you can invite them manually. You can customize the behavior in your automation prompt.
Can I set different permission levels based on the task type?
Yes. Tell Notis to assign different permission levels, e.g., 'Developers get push access, designers get pull access.'
Does this work for multiple GitHub repos?
By default, Notis adds them to your primary connected repo. You can specify different repos in your prompt if you have multiple repositories to manage.
