Handle trusted fork approvals without another context switch
Let a clear approval rule move the workflow forward when the evidence is already in place.
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
Fork pull request approvals interrupt focus, especially when the founder has already verified the change through incident or CI context.
- Shortens safe review-to-run time
- Keeps approval decisions tied to evidence
- Reduces repetitive dashboard checks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Datadog and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When a Datadog verification webhook confirms the specified trusted fork pull request is safe, approve its pending GitHub workflow run.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger, select a run-report channel, and test with one approved pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this bypass review?
No. The instruction should require the Datadog verification and any other approval conditions you trust.
What kind of run is eligible?
GitHub approves workflow runs from fork pull requests that are awaiting manual approval.

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