Add an account email from an update request

Keep account maintenance moving by adding a supplied email address to GitHub.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

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.

Why this helps

Small account updates can get lost when they require a separate manual stop in GitHub.

  • Add one or more email addresses to the authenticated account.
  • Handle account updates from a clear request.
  • Keep the update in the existing automation flow.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ayrshare and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to add the email address or addresses supplied in an authorized account update request.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real example.

Questions about this workflow

Are new emails verified automatically?

No. Newly added addresses are initially unverified.

What if the email belongs to another GitHub account?

GitHub returns an error if an email is verified for another account. An existing email on the current account is accepted.
