Give verified contractors the GitHub access they need
Turn an approved identity check into a GitHub repository invitation, with the repository and GitHub username provided in the webhook.
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
You approve a contractor in Bread & Butter, then have to remember to switch to GitHub and grant access.
- Reduce manual steps between identity approval and repository access.
- Keep the access request tied to its verification context.
- Use an explicit GitHub username and repository from the webhook or instruction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bread & Butter and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to add the verified GitHub username as a collaborator on the repository included in the request, using the requested permission when applicable.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real verified contractor request that includes a repository and GitHub username.
Questions about this workflow
What must the webhook or instruction include?
Include the repository owner and name, the contractor's GitHub username, and the requested permission if it applies. Bread & Butter identity details alone may not identify a GitHub account.
Does this grant access immediately?
GitHub may create an invitation for the user to accept, or update permissions directly, depending on the repository and existing access.

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.
