Check GitHub repository collaborator access on a schedule
Keep an eye on a named collaborator relationship with a recurring check and a simple report.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check if a user is a repository collaborator
Checks if a user is a collaborator on a specified github repository, returning a 204 status if they are, or a 404 status if they are not or if the repository/user does not exist.
Why this helps
When access changes happen over time, it can be hard to remember who should still be able to work in a repository.
- Check a specified user and repository relationship
- Surface missing or present collaborator access in a report
- Repeat the check without manual lookups
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Browseai and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, then name it and describe the collaborator check.
- 3Specify the GitHub username and repository to check.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real username and repository and confirm the result in the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add or remove collaborator access?
No. This action checks whether the user is a collaborator; it does not change access.
Can I check an entire team?
The action checks one specified user and repository. Provide each username and repository you want checked.
What does a missing collaborator result mean?
GitHub can return not found when the user is not a collaborator or when the repository or user does not exist. Review the identifiers in the report.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Browseai to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Browseai triggers
GitHub actions
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Browseai and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
