Review blocked GitHub user status regularly
Keep sensitive account checks visible through a small recurring report instead of manual profile checks.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check if a user is blocked by the authenticated user
Checks if the specified github user is blocked by the authenticated user; a 204 no content response indicates the user is blocked, while a 404 not found indicates they are not.
Why this helps
Important account safeguards are hard to remember when they are checked only after an incident.
- Keep safety checks visible
- Create a repeatable review
- Reduce manual account inspection
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Charla and GitHub in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation asking Notis to check blocked status for each supplied GitHub user.
- 3Choose a notis_cron trigger and set the review cadence.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one user.
Questions about this workflow
Does this block users?
No. It checks whether the specified users are already blocked by the authenticated account.
Can the review list stay private?
Yes. Keep the user list in your connected workflow instructions and reports.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Charla to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Charla triggers
GitHub actions
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.
Charla and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
