Turn repository research records into GitHub stars

Keep a repository worth revisiting close at hand by starring it from its Baserow research request.

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

Interesting repositories get saved in research notes but are easy to lose when it is time to return to GitHub.

  • Make selected repositories easier to revisit.
  • Reduce manual steps from research to GitHub.
  • Act directly on a deliberate save 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 star the GitHub repository specified by an explicit Baserow research request for the authenticated user.
  • 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real research record and verify the repository.

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Baserow and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
