Review GitHub star status for prospect repositories
Get a compact scheduled check on whether the repositories in your prospect research are starred by your account.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Repository research can be scattered across notes, making it hard to remember which projects you already follow.
- Review a defined repository list on a schedule
- Make existing star status visible
- Avoid repeating repository checks manually
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 check star status for repositories in the supplied Clearout research list and report each result; provide the list or its location in your prompt.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real repository from the research list.
Questions about this workflow
Can this workflow discover repositories from Clearout automatically?
No Clearout trigger events are listed. Supply the repository list or arrange for it to be included in the automation's inputs.
What does the star check return?
A successful check indicates the authenticated GitHub user has starred the repository. A not found response can mean it is not starred or the repository does not exist.

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.
