Handle repository invitation acceptance requests
Make invitation acceptance an explicit request, then let Notis complete the GitHub step for the connected account.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Why this helps
A pending repository invitation can block work when it is easy to miss among other notifications.
- Turn an explicit onboarding request into a GitHub action.
- Reduce the delay between requesting access and accepting the invitation.
- Keep a run report with the request outcome.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Basin and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to accept the pending repository invitation for the connected GitHub user only when the Basin submission explicitly requests acceptance.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real pending invitation 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.
