Grant Dependabot secret access from Cloro dependency reviews
Keep dependency automation ready for the repositories your research says should use it.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add selected repo to org secret
Grants an existing repository access to an existing organization-level dependabot secret; the repository must belong to the organization, and the call succeeds without change if access already exists.
Why this helps
Dependency work is approved, but the repository still cannot use the organization secret it needs.
- Unblocks approved dependency updates
- Keeps access scoped to selected repositories
- Reduces repetitive repository administration
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloro and GitHub in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in Automations with a name and prompt.
- 3Describe how recent Cloro dependency findings identify repositories that should receive the secret.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one repository from the review.
Questions about this workflow
Is this idempotent?
Yes. GitHub succeeds without change when access already exists.
Can the review cover several repositories?
Yes. Include the repository list in the Cloro payload or prompt.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Cloro to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

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