Route new engineers into the right GitHub team
Start team access as soon as the hiring handoff is ready, with Notis passing the supplied team and role details to GitHub.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add or update team membership for a user
Adds a github user to a team or updates their role (member or maintainer), inviting them to the organization if not already a member; idempotent, returning current details if no change is made.
Why this helps
A hire can be ready to join, while team membership remains a separate task that is easy to leave until later.
- Connect the confirmed hiring handoff to a concrete team membership step.
- Set the member or maintainer role when the team membership is added or updated.
- Get a report when the GitHub action runs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ashby and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to add the confirmed hire to the GitHub team and role specified in the Ashby update.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real update for a team and user that already exist or can be invited.
Questions about this workflow
Can this run directly from an Ashby event?
No Ashby trigger event is provided in this package. A Notis webhook starts the automation when an HTTP request carries the relevant update.
What must be supplied for the team action?
The GitHub organization, team slug, username, and intended role must be available in the request or otherwise specified in the instruction.
Does GitHub create a team if it is missing?
No. The action adds or updates membership for a team, so the organization and team must already exist.

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Ashby and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
