Review staff access between Ascora and GitHub
Set a recurring check for staff who need repository access and let Notis invite the GitHub accounts you identify.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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 can be overlooked when staff changes and repository permissions are tracked in separate places.
- Create a recurring reminder to review staff access needs.
- Invite only GitHub accounts identified in the Ascora information or your instructions.
- Reduce manual checking across operations and code tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ascora and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis what Ascora staff information to review and which corresponding GitHub usernames should be invited to which repositories.
- 4Choose the notis_cron schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real staff record and repository before relying on the recurring run.
Questions about this workflow
Does the schedule automatically retrieve Ascora staff records?
The listed context does not specify Ascora query actions or data access details. Ensure the information is available to Notis for the scheduled run, and provide any staff-to-GitHub username mapping.
Will this remove access for staff who no longer need it?
No. The allowed GitHub action adds or updates a collaborator. It does not revoke access.

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.
