Add GitHub collaborators from approved Chatfai requests
Move an approved access decision into GitHub without retyping it.
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
Approved access requests linger in chat while repository permissions remain unchanged.
- Shorten access turnaround
- Preserve the approval context
- Reduce repetitive permission work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Chatfai and GitHub in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Chatfai add repository collaborator.
- 3Tell Notis to add the named GitHub user to the specified repository only when the conversation contains an explicit approval and requested permission.
- 4Choose the Chatfai webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test it with one approved request.
Questions about this workflow
Can it change an existing collaborator's permission?
Yes. GitHub updates the permission when the user is already a collaborator.
What if approval is implied but not explicit?
Tell Notis to stop and report that explicit approval is required.
