Finish GitHub App access during bot onboarding
After Botpress captures an approved repository request, Notis adds that repository to the intended GitHub App installation so tooling is ready.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
A bot project may be approved but remain unusable because the required GitHub App was never granted repository access.
- Removes a common final gap in repository onboarding
- Gets approved bot tooling connected sooner
- Keeps the access decision tied to an explicit approval event
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Botpress and GitHub to Notis, and ensure the GitHub App installation already exists.
- 2Ask Notis to add a repository to that installation only when the Botpress approval webhook confirms the request.
- 3Select the incoming webhook trigger and a channel for access-change reports.
- 4Test with a repository where your GitHub user has administrator rights.
Questions about this workflow
What GitHub permission is required?
The authenticated GitHub user needs administrator rights for the repository and access to the target App installation.
Does this install a brand-new GitHub App?
No. It adds a repository to an existing GitHub App installation.

Notis builds workflows that link Botpress to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Botpress triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
