Confirm repository access for technical interviewers
Check collaborator status for the teammate who needs access to a repository during a technical interview.
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
Technical interview prep gets delayed when the interviewer discovers repository access is missing at the last minute.
- Surface access gaps before the interview work begins.
- Keep the access check tied to interview context.
- Make repository readiness easier to review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Async interview and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis which repository and GitHub username to check from the interview details.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with a real technical interview and repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does this grant repository access?
No. It checks whether the user is a collaborator. A repository administrator must handle any access change.
What should I provide if interview data lacks repository details?
Name the repository and interviewer in your instruction or provide a reliable way to identify them.

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.
