Turn an Attio collaboration handoff into GitHub access
When an Attio relationship handoff requires code collaboration, let Notis send the repository collaboration request instead of leaving access as a loose end.
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
A collaboration decision recorded in Attio can stall while someone separately remembers to invite a partner to the right repository.
- Carry a collaboration handoff through to repository access.
- Reduce delays caused by separate access requests.
- Keep GitHub collaboration connected to Attio context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Attio and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the access handoff.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to identify the person and repository from the Attio handoff and add them as a collaborator.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real handoff where the GitHub user and repository are clear.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically grant repository access?
The action adds a user as a collaborator or creates an invitation. The authenticated GitHub user needs the required access to the repository.
What if Attio does not contain the GitHub username or repository?
Provide those details in the webhook request or instruction context; the workflow cannot infer missing identity or repository information.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Attio to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

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.
