Check GitHub follow relationships from Bika
Resolve a specific follow-status question without opening GitHub profiles one by one.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a user follows another user
Checks if a github user `username` follows `target user`; returns a 204 http status if true, 404 if not or if users are invalid.
Why this helps
Community research gets tedious when a simple relationship check requires repeated profile browsing.
- Checks a specified user-to-user follow relationship.
- Provides a direct result for a Bika research request.
- Cuts down on manual profile checks.
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 check whether the specified GitHub username follows the target username in each request.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with two valid GitHub usernames.
Questions about this workflow
What does the result mean?
GitHub returns a success status when the user follows the target and not-found when they do not or either user is invalid.
Whose account is used for this check?
This action checks one GitHub user against another and is distinct from checking whether the authenticated user follows someone.

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.
