Give design review work the GitHub access it needs
Route a Canva template review into the right repository and add the collaborator who needs to help.
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
Design and engineering handoffs slow down when repository access is handled as a separate manual chore.
- Reduce access-request back and forth
- Help reviewers get to the repository sooner
- Tie repository collaboration to a real review request
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canva and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2In Automations, choose New Automation and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to interpret incoming Canva template review requests and add the named, authorized GitHub collaborator to the repository tied to the work.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real review request and check the collaborator change or invitation.
Questions about this workflow
Will the action grant a specific permission level?
The action can accept a permission for organization-owned repositories. For personal repositories, access defaults to push and ignores that permission field.
Can this add someone who is not named in the request?
Specify the intended person and access rule in your instruction. Avoid granting access when the request does not identify an authorized collaborator.

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.
