Move contractor access requests into GitHub
Handle repository access requests where they start, then add the named collaborator 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
Contractor onboarding slows down when repository access details are captured but the GitHub invitation is still a separate task.
- Keep repository access requests from being forgotten.
- Reduce manual handoff during contractor onboarding.
- Tie GitHub access work to the original request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Baserow and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to review the contractor request and add the named GitHub user as a collaborator on the specified repository.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the repository and user.
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose a permission for a personal repository?
Personal repositories default to push permission and ignore the permission field. Organization-owned repositories can use the permission value.
Will the contractor always be added directly?
GitHub may create an invitation or update permissions directly based on the repository and user's status.
What if the user is already a collaborator?
The action can update their permission if they are already a collaborator.

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.
