Verify repository access when a web signal arrives
Bring a signal into Notis and check the named user's repository access, with the result sent to your report channel.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
A monitoring signal may call for an access check, but switching from the alert to GitHub can delay a simple verification.
- Start the check from an HTTP request
- Verify a specific user and repository relationship
- Get a report without changing permissions
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 access check.
- 3Tell Notis to extract or use the username and repository from the incoming context.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one actual signal and verify the username and repository in the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does Browseai provide an integration trigger event?
No Browseai trigger events are listed. The workflow starts from a Notis webhook request.
Will this grant access if the person is not a collaborator?
No. It checks collaborator status only. No access change is performed.
What if the person or repository cannot be found?
GitHub may return a not found result. Confirm the supplied identifiers before interpreting it as an access mismatch.

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.
