Handle repository access for newsletter launch partners
Keep launch handoffs moving by connecting a partner event to a GitHub repository collaboration invitation.
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
A launch partner may need repository access, but the invitation can be forgotten amid newsletter planning.
- Start the repository access handoff from a partner event.
- Keep launch coordination tied to the relevant repository.
- Reduce manual steps when a collaborator joins a project.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beehiiv and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, explain how to identify the partner's GitHub username and repository from the webhook context, and what permission is appropriate for an organization-owned repository.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real partner event and confirm the invitation or permission update is correct.
Questions about this workflow
Will this automatically grant write access to a personal repository?
Personal repositories default to push permission, and the permission field applies to organization-owned repositories. Choose collaborators and access carefully in the instruction.
What happens if the partner is already a collaborator?
The action adds the user as a collaborator or updates their permission when applicable. GitHub may create an invitation or update permissions directly.

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.
