Bring the right collaborator into GitHub remediation
For findings that arrive with a repository and named collaborator, have Notis add that person to the repository so remediation can move forward.
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
A privacy remediation can wait while someone tracks down repository access for the person expected to help.
- Reduce delays caused by manual collaborator invitations.
- Act on access requests tied to a specific Borneo finding.
- Keep remediation contributors connected to the relevant repository.
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 add the collaborator named in the finding to its specified GitHub repository, using only the permission level you specify.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real finding and a collaborator who should have repository access.
Questions about this workflow
Does this decide who should get repository access?
No. The finding or your instruction must identify the person and repository, and your instruction should state the access policy you want to apply.
Will GitHub always grant access immediately?
GitHub may create an invitation or update permissions directly. The authenticated account needs the required 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.
