Unblock trusted contributor builds from Botpress
When your Botpress review assistant confirms a fork pull request is safe to test, Notis approves the waiting GitHub workflow run so momentum is not lost.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Approve a workflow run for a fork pull request
Approves a workflow run from a forked repository's pull request; call this when such a run requires manual approval due to workflow configuration.
Why this helps
Fork pull request builds can sit idle until someone remembers to revisit GitHub and approve them, delaying community contributions and breaking focus.
- Shortens the wait between contributor review and automated checks
- Keeps approval criteria explicit in one reusable instruction
- Avoids repeated trips to the GitHub Actions queue
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Botpress and GitHub to Notis in the portal.
- 2Create an automation whose prompt says to approve the specified fork pull request workflow only after the Botpress review webhook confirms your trust criteria.
- 3Pick the incoming webhook trigger and choose where Notis should report approvals.
- 4Test with one safe fork pull request that is awaiting workflow approval.
Questions about this workflow
Will this approve every fork workflow?
No. Your prompt should require a specific Botpress review result and identify the exact waiting run before Notis uses GitHub's approval action.
Does approval merge the pull request?
No. It only allows the selected GitHub Actions run to start; review and merge decisions remain separate.

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.
