Check the repository star status tied to a gallery launch
Pair a gallery announcement with a quick check of whether your GitHub account has starred the supporting repository.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if repo starred by auth user
Use to determine if the authenticated user has starred a specific github repository, which is confirmed by an http 204 status (resulting in an empty dictionary in the response data); the action fails (e.g., http 404) if the repository is not starred or does not exist.
Why this helps
Small launch follow-ups can slip when attention moves from publishing to repository housekeeping.
- Keep a launch follow-up visible
- Check a specific repository without switching apps
- Receive a status report in your preferred channel
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cincopa and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to check whether the authenticated GitHub user has starred the repository named in the gallery announcement request and report the status.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and configure the sender to make an HTTP request to it.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real announcement request and repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does this star the repository if it is not starred?
No. This workflow checks the current star status and reports it.
What should the webhook request include?
Include the GitHub repository identity associated with the announcement so Notis can check the right repository.

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