Review a contributor before sending a repository invite
Provide a contributor, repository, and clear invitation instruction. Notis can gather public context and send the requested GitHub collaborator invitation.
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
Evaluating a prospective contributor and sending the repository invitation can become a scattered, manual handoff.
- Gather public context before taking an access action.
- Keep the review and repository invitation in one workflow.
- Reduce manual handoff between research and GitHub.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Brightdata and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction what public context to gather and when to invite the specified GitHub user to the specified repository.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real contributor request and a repository where you have admin rights.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis invite someone based only on a web search?
The instruction should include an explicit invitation request and identify the GitHub user and repository. Public web context alone does not establish authorization.
What happens when an invitation is needed?
GitHub may create a collaborator invitation. The authenticated account needs the required repository access to perform the action.
Does the workflow verify someone's identity from their website?
It can gather public context, but matching a person across sites may be uncertain. Supply the GitHub username you intend to invite.

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.
