Check GitHub collaborator access from Chatfai
Resolve access questions with one verified repository check.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a user is a repository collaborator
Checks if a user is a collaborator on a specified github repository, returning a 204 status if they are, or a 404 status if they are not or if the repository/user does not exist.
Why this helps
Access requests create uncertainty because nobody remembers whether the person is already a collaborator.
- Avoid duplicate access changes
- Answer permission questions quickly
- Keep access decisions grounded in GitHub
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Chatfai and GitHub in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Chatfai collaborator access check.
- 3Tell Notis to check whether the named GitHub user collaborates on the repository discussed in the conversation and report the result.
- 4Choose the Chatfai webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test it with one known collaborator and repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does this invite anyone?
No. It only checks current collaborator status.
What if the repository or username is unclear?
Notis reports the missing reference and does not guess.

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.
