Handle GitHub collaborator requests from intake
Pass an access request to Notis and describe the conditions for adding the person as a GitHub repository 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
Repository access requests can get buried between messages and still require a manual visit to GitHub.
- Start the process from an HTTP request.
- Keep approval and permission guidance in a single instruction.
- Add or update the collaborator in GitHub when the request meets your rules.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Celigo and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe when to add a requested GitHub collaborator and what permission guidance to follow in one instruction.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does a webhook request itself prove that access was approved?
Not by itself. Describe how Notis should recognize approval and provide any approval context the request does not include.
Does the permission field work for every repository?
GitHub applies the permission field to organization-owned repositories. Personal repository permissions default to push and ignore that 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.
