Keep repository access ready for team transitions
Bring the person and repository needed for a transition into one instruction, then make access part of the repeatable review.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
When roles change, repository access updates can be forgotten between the people handoff and active project work.
- Keep access changes attached to a defined transition review.
- Reduce manual context gathering before updating GitHub.
- Make the repository and collaborator explicit.
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 review supplied transition details and add the specified person as a collaborator to the named repository with the requested permission.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real transition and verify the resulting access.
Questions about this workflow
Does this revoke access from someone leaving the project?
No. The available action adds or updates a collaborator. It does not remove access.
Can this automate access for an unknown repository?
The repository needs to be supplied or clearly identified in the context before the action can add a collaborator.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
