Check repository stars against Bika records
See whether the repositories you track have been starred by the connected GitHub user.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check if repo starred by auth user
Use to determine if the authenticated user has starred a specific github repository, which is confirmed by an http 204 status (resulting in an empty dictionary in the response data); the action fails (e.g., http 404) if the repository is not starred or does not exist.
Why this helps
Small tracking details like a repository star can be forgotten when you move between tools.
- Checks star status for specified repositories.
- Helps verify a tracked action without browsing each repository.
- Reports results for easy follow-up.
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 connected GitHub user has starred each repository named in the supplied Bika records.
- 4Choose the schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a repository whose star status is known.
Questions about this workflow
Whose star status does it check?

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Bika.ai and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
