Notis

Approve customer patch workflow runs

Remove a manual queue from urgent customer patch delivery.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Approve a workflow run for a fork pull request

Approves a workflow run from a forked repository's pull request; call this when such a run requires manual approval due to workflow configuration.

Why this helps

A patch can be ready while its fork workflow waits for someone to approve it.

  • Faster patch validation
  • Less queue watching
  • Clear approval records

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Close and GitHub in Notis once.
  • 2Create a new automation in Automations.
  • 3Tell Notis to approve the waiting workflow run for each eligible fork pull request listed in the Close patch queue.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real customer patch.

Questions about this workflow

Does this approve every fork workflow?

Limit the prompt context to the specific pull requests and runs that are eligible.

What if approval is not required?

GitHub returns the current result and the run report records it.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
