Check whether a code reference is saved when it comes up
When a review or scorecard process references a gist, Notis can check whether your account has starred it and return the result.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a gist is starred
Checks if a gist, identified by `gist id`, is starred by the authenticated user, returning an empty response (204) if starred, or a 404 error if not starred or not found.
Why this helps
A useful code snippet may be mentioned during a review but forgotten before you can save it for later.
- Check the gist as soon as a process surfaces it.
- Confirm whether the connected user starred the reference.
- Receive a result alongside the automation report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect BSC Designer and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe how the webhook identifies a gist and ask Notis to check whether it is starred by your authenticated user.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real gist ID sent through the webhook.
Questions about this workflow
What should the webhook identify?
It should provide the GitHub gist ID for the star status check.
Will Notis star the gist if needed?
No. The action only checks whether the gist is starred by the authenticated user.
What if the gist is not starred or does not exist?
The action may return a not found error in either case, so confirm the gist ID and check the result.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link BSC Designer to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

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.
