Make project access part of the handoff
Pass the person, repository, and requested access in one Notis webhook request and update GitHub collaboration access.
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
A project handoff can stall when repository access is handled separately from the people handoff.
- Tie repository access to a clear handoff instruction.
- Reduce switching between HR context and GitHub settings.
- Keep the requested person, repository, and permission together.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Breathe HR and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to add the specified person as a collaborator on the named repository with the requested permission, using supplied handoff context.
- 4Choose a webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real handoff and verify the repository access result.
Questions about this workflow
Can this grant access to a personal repository?
Yes. For personal repositories, the permission field is ignored and GitHub defaults to push access. Specify an organization repository when a particular permission level is needed.
Does the webhook connect directly to Breathe HR?
The webhook is a Notis-native trigger. Include the relevant Breathe HR context in the request or provide it through your instruction.

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.
