Start new project environments faster
A project kickoff can include the environment access needed to get unstuck quickly.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add a selected repository to a user secret
Grants a specified repository access to an authenticated user's existing codespaces secret, enabling codespaces created for that repository to use the secret.
Why this helps
Founders lose momentum when environment setup depends on a separate access request after project kickoff.
- Reduce environment setup time
- Support faster starts
- Avoid forgotten access requests
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackbaud and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it by message.
- 3Tell Notis to grant the new project's GitHub repository access to the existing Codespaces secret when the Blackbaud project starts.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and select the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one development repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create the secret?
No. It grants the repository access to an existing authenticated user's Codespaces secret.
Can this be restricted to development repositories?
Yes. Include that condition in the instruction.

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.
Blackbaud and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
