Save Byteforms repository recommendations on GitHub
Turn a repository recommendation into a GitHub star, with the repository details coming from the Byteforms submission.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Why this helps
Useful repository recommendations arrive in forms but get lost before you can save them for later.
- Save a recommended repository directly to the authenticated user's GitHub stars.
- Keep repository details from the submission attached to the action.
- Avoid returning later to find and star the same repository manually.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Byteforms and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe how a repository recommendation should star the specified GitHub repository.
- 3Pick a Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 4Configure Byteforms to send the submission to the webhook, then test with one real repository recommendation.

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.
Byteforms and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
