Handle approved collaboration handoffs in GitHub
When a vetted contact needs repository access, turn the handoff into a clear GitHub invitation.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
A collaboration request can sit in research notes while the repository access step is forgotten.
- Keep approved access requests actionable
- Reduce manual copying from lead research
- Use the requested repository and account in one handoff
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Clearout and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to add a repository collaborator only when the incoming handoff explicitly approves access and includes a GitHub username and repository.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one authorized handoff and confirm GitHub returns the expected invitation or permission update.
Questions about this workflow
Does a Clearout result alone authorize repository access?
No. The webhook payload or your instruction must establish that access is approved. A prospect match by itself is not approval.
Can this set repository permissions?
For personal repositories the action defaults to push permission and ignores the permission field. Organization-owned repositories support the specified permission.

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.
