Give an escalation owner access to the right GitHub repository
When a BotMape agent conversation calls for a named reviewer, send the request to Notis to add them to the relevant repository.
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
Escalations can stall while someone manually identifies the repository and grants the reviewer access.
- Act on explicit access requests without losing the escalation context.
- Invite a named user or update their permission where supported.
- Keep repository access changes tied to a clear request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BotMape and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to add the named GitHub user as a collaborator only when the incoming escalation identifies a repository and requests access.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real escalation request and confirm the repository and user before relying on it.
Questions about this workflow
Does this grant a specific permission level?
The action supports a permission value for organization-owned repositories. For personal repositories, GitHub defaults to push permission and ignores that field.
Can this handle unclear access requests?
Write the instruction to act only when the request clearly identifies a user and repository. An unclear request should be reported for review.

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.
