Approve trusted brand preview runs
Move reviewed brand previews forward without hunting through GitHub Actions.
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
A preview can be ready while its fork workflow waits unnoticed for manual approval.
- Reduce preview waiting time
- Keep approval tied to brand context
- Avoid missed workflow notifications
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Brandfetch and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation for reviewed brand previews.
- 3Tell Notis to approve the specified GitHub workflow run from a fork pull request only when the Brandfetch request identifies it as reviewed.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and report channel.
- 5Test with one waiting preview run.
Questions about this workflow
When is approval appropriate?
Use this only when the Brandfetch request confirms that the fork preview has been reviewed and should proceed.
What happens after approval?
GitHub permits the waiting workflow run to continue according to its workflow configuration.

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.
