Set up contractor access without the access scramble

A project start can trigger the repository invitation your contractor needs to begin work.

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

Temporary collaborators can wait hours for access while the founder coordinates logistics and delivery.

  • Shorten project setup time
  • Reduce permission-task reminders
  • Keep access tied to a clear business event

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Booqable and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up.
  • 3Use this instruction: When an approved Booqable project contractor starts, add that person as a collaborator to the specified GitHub repository with the appropriate permission.
  • 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger, select the reporting channel, and test with one approved contractor.

Questions about this workflow

Can this grant admin access automatically?

The instruction should request the minimum permission needed for the contractor's work.

What if the person is already a collaborator?

GitHub can update the collaborator permission when the user already has access.
