Grant GitHub variable access from Checkvist
Apply a precise repository access decision while the approval context is still easy to find.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add selected repository to an organization variable
Grants a repository access to an organization-level github actions variable, if that variable's visibility is set to 'selected repositories'.
Why this helps
A repository needs a shared variable but the access grant waits for a separate admin session.
- Speeds approved configuration changes
- Limits access to the intended repository
- Leaves an execution report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Checkvist and GitHub in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that grants the named repository access to the organization variable in the approved Checkvist task.
- 3Choose a notis_webhook trigger and send the request to its webhook.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one selected repository.
Questions about this workflow
What visibility must the variable have?
The organization variable must be configured for selected repositories.
Can this create the variable?
No. It grants access to an existing organization-level variable.

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
