Verify GitHub stars from Charla campaign updates
Confirm community campaign progress with a direct GitHub star status check whenever Charla sends an update.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if repo starred by auth user
Use to determine if the authenticated user has starred a specific github repository, which is confirmed by an http 204 status (resulting in an empty dictionary in the response data); the action fails (e.g., http 404) if the repository is not starred or does not exist.
Why this helps
Campaign follow-up gets delayed when repository engagement must be checked manually.
- Close campaign loops quickly
- Keep engagement checks consistent
- Reduce manual repository browsing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Charla and GitHub in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation asking Notis to read the repository reference in each campaign update and check whether it is starred by the authenticated user.
- 3Choose a notis_webhook trigger and post campaign update payloads to its URL.
- 4Select a report channel and test with one repository.

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.
