Notis

Turn an approved proposal into GitHub access

Move from signed scope to a clear project handoff. Notis can use proposal details to invite the right client contact to the right repository.

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

After a proposal is approved, inviting the client to the project repository can slip through the cracks or require another round of context gathering.

  • Reduce the delay between proposal approval and project kickoff.
  • Keep the client contact and repository context together.
  • Avoid manually recreating the access request.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Bidsketch and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to use the proposal ID and client contact from the incoming request to find the approved proposal, identify the agreed repository, and invite the client with the requested permission.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real approved proposal and confirm the repository and permission before relying on it.

Questions about this workflow

How does the automation know a proposal was approved?

The webhook request starts the automation. Include the proposal ID and relevant client and repository context in the request so Notis can check the proposal in Bidsketch.

Can it choose permissions from the proposal?

It can use permission details supplied in the request or available from the proposal. For personal repositories, GitHub defaults to push access and ignores the permission field.

Does this accept the invitation automatically?

No. The workflow creates or updates collaborator access; GitHub may issue an invitation that the client must accept.
