Handle GitHub access requests from Basin
Review repository access requests where they arrive, then let Notis carry out the requested collaborator change.
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
Access requests can sit in a form inbox while project work moves on.
- Act on access requests without switching between Basin and GitHub.
- Keep the submitted repository, username, and requested access level together.
- Send run reports to a channel you already check.
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 give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to review each Basin access request and add the named GitHub collaborator to the requested repository with the submitted permission, asking for review when required details are missing.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real access request and confirm the GitHub result.
Questions about this workflow
What should the Basin form collect?
Include the repository owner and name, GitHub username, and requested permission. Notis needs those details in the submission to act on them.
Will this automatically approve every request?
The prompt can direct Notis to act only when the request contains the required details and meets your stated approval criteria.

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.
