Turn approved access requests into GitHub invitations
When a call confirms a collaborator needs repository access, send the approved request details to Notis and let it add the collaborator.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Access requests captured during calls can linger while someone manually turns the decision into a repository invitation.
- Carry approved repository access decisions into GitHub promptly.
- Use the username and repository specified in the request.
- Reduce manual handoffs after onboarding or project calls.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CallOnTheGo and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or from any Notis channel.
- 3In one instruction, describe how to process approved repository access requests received by webhook.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real, approved request for a repository where you have admin rights.
Questions about this workflow
Does the call itself approve access?
No. The webhook request should represent an already approved access decision and include the intended GitHub user and repository.
What happens when the repository is organization-owned?
GitHub applies the specified permission when supported. For a personal repository, the permission field is ignored and the default is push.
Can this add someone to a repository without admin rights?
The authenticated GitHub user needs the access required to add a collaborator. Review the run report if GitHub rejects the request.

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.
