Check repository access before a review handoff stalls
Use a review webhook to check whether the named follow-up owner has collaborator access to the relevant repository.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a user is a repository collaborator
Checks if a user is a collaborator on a specified github repository, returning a 204 status if they are, or a 404 status if they are not or if the repository/user does not exist.
Why this helps
A handoff can stall when the person expected to follow up cannot access the repository.
- Confirm repository access for a named review owner.
- Spot access gaps before they delay follow-up.
- Get the check result in a Notis run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Classmarker and GitHub once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that reads the user and repository from supplied webhook details and checks collaborator status.
- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose a report destination.
- 4Test with one real user and repository pair.
Questions about this workflow
Does this add someone as a collaborator?
No. The selected action only checks whether a user is a collaborator; it does not change access.
What should the webhook include?
Include or clearly identify the GitHub username and repository owner and name needed for the check.

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Classmarker and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
