Turn Cardly onboarding requests into GitHub access
Keep a new collaborator's onboarding moving by sending a Cardly request to Notis and adding them to the right repository.
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
Repository access requests can be separated from the onboarding conversation that explains why access is needed.
- Reduce repeated copying of usernames and repository details.
- Keep access requests tied to onboarding context.
- Make the requested permission level explicit in your instruction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cardly and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3Describe how to verify the requested username, repository, and permission before adding the collaborator in one instruction.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real onboarding request and confirm the collaborator action and report.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation add anyone mentioned in a Cardly message?
Your instruction should require a clear, authorized request and a specific GitHub username and repository before adding a collaborator.
Does the permission apply to personal repositories?
GitHub's collaborator action notes that the permission field applies to organization-owned repositories; personal repositories default to push.

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.
