Welcome contributors and invite them to GitHub in one handoff
When a CardClan welcome card goes out, have Notis invite the recipient to the GitHub repository they need, using the username and permission level you provide.
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
A welcome card can be sent while the separate GitHub access task gets lost in onboarding notes.
- Keep the welcome message and access handoff together.
- Reduce forgotten repository invitations.
- Use a consistent permission level for each onboarding request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CardClan and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to invite the named GitHub user to the specified repository with the requested permission after the CardClan welcome-card handoff.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real welcome-card handoff, including a GitHub username, repository, and permission.
Questions about this workflow
Does CardClan provide a built-in trigger for this workflow?
No CardClan trigger event is listed. Start the automation with a Notis webhook request when your process is ready to hand off the welcome-card details.
What information should the request include?
Provide the GitHub username, repository owner and name, and the intended permission. For personal repositories, GitHub defaults to push access and ignores the permission field.

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.
