Grant GitHub repository secret access from Discord approval
Keep sensitive-access approvals deliberate, visible, and free of extra dashboard steps.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
Action
Add selected repository to an organization secret
Adds a repository to an organization secret's access list when the secret's visibility is 'selected'; this operation is idempotent.
Why this helps
A repository is approved for a secret, but the final GitHub change is easy to postpone.
- Captures explicit approval
- Reduces configuration delay
- Creates a clear report trail

- 1Connect Discord and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in Automations.
- 3Ask Notis to grant the approved repository access to the selected organization secret.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Discord to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Discord triggers
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.
New Discord Message Trigger
Polls a specific Discord channel for new messages.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
New Member Joined
Triggered when a new member joins a Discord server (guild) you manage.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
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.
New Thread Created
Triggered when a new thread is created in a Discord channel within a monitored server.
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.
Message Edited
Triggered when an existing message in a monitored Discord channel is edited.
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.
Discord and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
