Save approved repository recommendations in GitHub
Send a repository recommendation through Backendless and have Notis save it to your GitHub starred repositories.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Why this helps
Useful repository recommendations get lost when saving them requires switching tools and searching again.
- Save recommendations while context is fresh.
- Avoid manually locating the repository again.
- Keep the action tied to a request record.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Backendless and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which approved recommendation to process and how to identify the GitHub repository to star.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real recommendation and verify the repository is starred.

List repositories starred by the authenticated user

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.
