Carry approved Basecamp access into GitHub
Keep access requests moving by applying approved collaborator changes from Basecamp to the named repository.
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
Approved access requests can be forgotten while someone copies repository and permission details into GitHub.
- Reduce delay between an approval and repository access.
- Use the approved permission stated in Basecamp.
- Keep access changes connected to the project request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basecamp 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 the approved person as a collaborator to the named GitHub repository using the permission in the approval.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approved request and confirm the repository and permission.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work for every repository type?
The action supports adding a user or updating their permission. For personal repositories, the permission field is ignored and the default is push access.
What should an approval include?
Include the GitHub username, repository, and the approved permission. Notis should report missing details instead of guessing.

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.
