Turn Bika access requests into GitHub collaboration
Give collaborator requests a clear path from Bika to the right GitHub 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
Access requests can stall while you recheck which repository and GitHub account the request refers to.
- Carries a clearly specified access request into GitHub.
- Reduces context switching during collaborator setup.
- Reports whether the request could be applied.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bika.ai and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Ask Notis to add the requested GitHub username as a collaborator on the repository named in the request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and a repository where you have admin rights.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow choose a permission level?
The action supports a permission parameter for organization-owned repositories. Personal repositories default to push access and ignore that field.
What happens when the user is not already a collaborator?
GitHub may create an invitation. The action can also update permissions for an existing collaborator.

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.
