Unblock trusted CommCare contributions
Once the right review is done, Notis can handle the approval step that otherwise waits in your queue.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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 reviewed contribution stalls because a workflow approval is easy to overlook.
- Reduces idle time after review
- Keeps approval tied to the operational event
- Avoids another manual GitHub check
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CommCare and GitHub to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis to create one.
- 3Write a plain-language instruction telling Notis to approve the specified workflow run only after the CommCare contribution is authorized.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a reporting channel.
- 5Test with one trusted fork pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Is approval automatic for every fork?
No. Define the authorization condition clearly in the prompt.
Can Notis report failures?
Yes. Choose a channel for run reports when creating the automation.

CommCare triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
