Invite verified contributors to GitHub
Stop inviting unreachable accounts. Verify contributor details first, then send the right GitHub repository invitation.
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
Manual verification and invitations create delays and accidental access mistakes.
- Reduce bounced onboarding messages
- Invite collaborators only after verification
- Keep access requests moving from one prompt
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bouncer and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Verified contributor invite.
- 3Tell Notis to verify the submitted email in Bouncer and invite the matching GitHub user to the named repository.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger, a report channel, and test with one contributor.
Questions about this workflow
Can this invite someone who is not already on GitHub?
The workflow can verify the contact first, but GitHub still requires a valid GitHub username for the repository invitation.

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.
