Move approved repository access forward
When a meeting settles who needs repository access, have Notis carry out the collaborator update in GitHub.
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
Access decisions get delayed when someone has to remember to return to GitHub after the meeting.
- Act on a clearly stated access decision sooner.
- Reduce forgotten repository access follow-ups.
- Keep the change tied to the meeting context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Avoma and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to add a named collaborator when the recap clearly records an access decision.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real, approved access decision and review the GitHub result.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow decide who should get access?
Use this for clear decisions stated in the recap. The instruction should identify the approved person and repository.
What permissions does it grant?
The action accepts a permission level for organization-owned repositories. Personal repositories default to push and ignore that field.
Can the action invite someone?
GitHub may create an invitation or update permissions directly, depending on the repository and collaborator state.

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.
