Check a GitHub follow relationship tied to a review contact
Use two supplied GitHub usernames to check whether one follows the other, then include the result with the review report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a user follows another user
Checks if a github user `username` follows `target user`; returns a 204 http status if true, 404 if not or if users are invalid.
Why this helps
Confirming a simple relationship manually can add another context switch to a review handoff.
- Check a specified user-to-user follow relationship.
- Include the result in a review handoff report.
- Avoid manually searching user profiles.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Classmarker and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that checks the relationship between the two usernames supplied in the review context.
- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and select a report destination.
- 4Test with one real username pair.
Questions about this workflow
Does this check whether the authenticated user follows someone?
No. This action checks whether one specified GitHub user follows another specified user.
What happens if a username is invalid or there is no follow relationship?
GitHub returns a not-found response for a false relationship or invalid users, so the report should treat that result as not confirmed.

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.
