Notis

Track important GitHub follow relationships

Keep lightweight relationship checks visible without manual profile visits.

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

Small relationship signals are easy to forget when they support a larger outreach process.

  • Reduce repetitive profile checks
  • Surface relationship changes
  • Keep outreach context current

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named GitHub follow relationship check.
  • 3Tell Notis which user and target user pairs to verify and how to summarize changes.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and report destination.
  • 5Test with one pair.

Questions about this workflow

What does a positive result mean?

GitHub returns a successful no-content response when the user follows the target.

Can it check several pairs?

Yes. List each user and target pair in the instruction.

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.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

CheckFlow and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
