Block GitHub users flagged in Checkvist
Keep moderation decisions explicit and actionable in the task system you already review.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Block a user
Blocks an existing individual github user (not an organization or your own account), preventing them from interacting with your account and repositories.
Why this helps
Abuse or disruption reports stay open because the final account action is easy to postpone.
- Makes approved moderation actions timely
- Keeps a review trail in Checkvist
- Reduces repeated manual navigation
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Checkvist and GitHub in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that blocks only the individual GitHub user named in an approved moderation task.
- 3Choose a notis_cron trigger and set the review schedule.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with a clearly authorized case.

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.
