Add a GitHub collaborator from a Brandfetch request
Turn a brand handoff request into a ready GitHub collaboration invite.
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
Brand updates often stall because repository access is handled in a separate, easy-to-forget step.
- Reduce access-request follow-up
- Keep repository collaboration aligned with brand work
- Give contributors access while context is fresh
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Brandfetch and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named for collaborator access.
- 3Tell Notis to review the Brandfetch request and add the named GitHub repository collaborator with the requested permission.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one real collaborator request.
Questions about this workflow
What does Brandfetch provide?
Brandfetch supplies the brand request context, such as the company identity and current branding details, for Notis to interpret.
Can this change an existing collaborator permission?
Yes. GitHub can add the collaborator or update their permission when the request identifies an existing collaborator.
