Handle location-based collaboration requests
For requests where location is part of your collaboration policy, Notis can enrich the submitted location and invite the requested GitHub user to the specified 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
Collaboration requests can stall while someone verifies location context and remembers to send the repository invitation.
- Keep location verification and repository follow-up together
- Reduce manual steps for eligible collaboration requests
- Make invitation decisions traceable in automation reports
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Big data cloud and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose a name and prompt.
- 3Describe the location checks required by your policy and invite only the explicitly requested GitHub user to the specified repository when eligible.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and verify the invitation and repository access level.
Questions about this workflow
Does a location lookup decide who should get access?
No. Define your eligibility policy and requested repository access in the prompt or request context. Big data cloud provides location capabilities; it does not define your access policy.
What happens when an invitation is created?
The GitHub action adds a repository collaborator and may create an invitation or update permissions, depending on the repository and existing access.
Can this action set repository permissions?
Its description says the permission field applies to organization-owned repositories. Personal repositories default to push and ignore that field.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP 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.
