Approve fork pull request runs from Checkvist
Keep manual CI approvals in the same review rhythm as the rest of your delivery work.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Approve a workflow run for a fork pull request
Approves a workflow run from a forked repository's pull request; call this when such a run requires manual approval due to workflow configuration.
Why this helps
Fork pull request checks wait in GitHub while approval decisions sit in a review list.
- Reduces waiting on approved contributions
- Keeps approval decisions visible
- Creates a clear run report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Checkvist and GitHub in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that reviews approval tasks and approves the named workflow run from a fork pull request when manual approval is required.
- 3Choose a notis_cron trigger and set the review cadence.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one eligible run.
Questions about this workflow
Will it approve every fork run?
No. Tell Notis to act only on the workflow run explicitly identified and approved in Checkvist.
What if approval is not required?
GitHub returns the current result, and Notis reports that no approval action was needed or possible.

Recurring trigger
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.
