Check reviewer access before the handoff gets stuck
Find out whether the person named in a render review request already collaborates on the relevant repository.
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
Review handoffs stall when repository access is assumed instead of checked.
- Surfaces missing repository access early
- Checks a named user against a specified repository
- Makes access status part of the run report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bannerbear and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to check whether the reviewer and repository supplied in the incoming request are collaborators.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real review request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this grant access if the reviewer is missing?
No. It checks collaborator status only. Adding a collaborator requires a separate workflow using the add collaborator action.
What does a not found result mean?
A 404 means the user is not a collaborator or the repository or user was not found.

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.
