Check whether a review reference is saved as a starred gist

Use an included gist reference to check whether it is already starred in the authenticated GitHub account.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Check if a gist is starred

Checks if a gist, identified by `gist id`, is starred by the authenticated user, returning an empty response (204) if starred, or a 404 error if not starred or not found.

Why this helps

Useful snippets connected to review work can be hard to track if their saved status is unclear.

  • Check saved status for a specified gist.
  • Keep snippet follow-up connected to assessment review context.
  • Get a quick result in the webhook run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Classmarker and GitHub once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation that checks the gist id supplied with the review context.
  • 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 4Test with one real gist reference.

Questions about this workflow

Will this star the gist if it is not starred?

No. It only checks star status. A not-starred or missing gist can return a not-found response.

What input is needed?

Include the GitHub gist id in the webhook request or otherwise make it available to the automation.

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.

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