Update protected branch access after reviews
Make access decisions stick in GitHub before the next contributor starts work.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add team access restrictions
Overwrites the list of teams (and their child teams) granted push access to a protected branch; the list of team slugs must be provided in the http post request body.
Why this helps
Access reviews produce decisions, but branch permissions remain unchanged until someone remembers to update them.
- Closes permission-review gaps
- Reduces security admin
- Keeps branch access intentional
- Creates a repeatable governance step
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Calendarhero and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: When a Calendarhero access review webhook confirms the approved teams, update the protected GitHub branch team access list to match that decision.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger, select the run-report channel, and test with one reviewed branch.
Questions about this workflow
Does this remove teams that are not approved?
Yes, the GitHub action overwrites the team access list, so the instruction should use only a confirmed review result.
Can it target a single protected branch?
Yes. Include the exact repository and branch in the instruction.

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