Review GitHub follow relationships automatically
Keep community relationship checks lightweight by reporting the follow statuses that matter to your team.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check if a user follows another user
Checks if a github user `username` follows `target user`; returns a 204 http status if true, 404 if not or if users are invalid.
Why this helps
Relationship follow-up becomes scattered across profiles and spreadsheets.
- Centralize relationship checks
- Reduce profile browsing
- Make outreach reviews consistent
Setup

- 1Connect Charla and GitHub in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation asking Notis to check the supplied follower and target user pairs.
- 3Choose a notis_cron trigger and set the cadence for your community review.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one user pair.

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.
