Handle repository access requests from Cloudpress
When a Cloudpress access request is ready, send it to Notis to add the named GitHub user to the requested repository.
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
Repository access requests can sit in a brief while someone separately remembers to invite the collaborator.
- Carry a clear access request into the repository workflow.
- Reduce manual steps between an access brief and a GitHub invitation.
- Use the requested permission for organization-owned repositories when supported.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Cloudpress and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for repository access requests.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to add the named GitHub user as a collaborator on the specified repository using the requested permission where applicable.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one approved, real access request containing the repository, username, and permission.
Questions about this workflow
What should the access request include?
Include the repository owner and name, GitHub username, and desired permission for an organization-owned repository.
Does this always send an invitation?
GitHub may create an invitation or update permissions directly, depending on the repository and user's status.
Can this grant personal repository permissions?
For personal repositories the permission field is ignored and GitHub defaults to push access. Use an approved request and verify access in GitHub.

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.
