Route approved Borneo requests to GitHub Actions secrets
When a Borneo request names an organization Actions secret and repository, have Notis grant the selected repository access.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add repo to org secret with selected access
Adds a repository to an existing organization-level github actions secret that is configured for 'selected' repository access.
Why this helps
Updating secret access by hand creates extra steps between an approved request and the repository that needs it.
- Shorten the path from approval to access update.
- Keep the request's repository and secret details together.
- Avoid manual access-list updates for each approved request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Borneo and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to use only approved requests and their supplied organization, Actions secret name, and repository to grant access.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one approved request for an existing Actions secret configured for selected repository access.
Questions about this workflow
Is this the same as a Dependabot secret?
No. This action is for an existing organization-level GitHub Actions secret with selected repository access.
Will it create a missing secret?
No. The secret must already exist and be configured for selected repository access.

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.
