Grant GitHub team repository access from Discord requests
Keep access decisions visible in chat while removing the administrative detour.
Trigger
New Discord Message Trigger
Polls a specific Discord channel for new messages.
Action
Add or update team repository permissions
Sets or updates a team's permission level for a repository within an organization; the team must be a member of the organization.
Why this helps
An approved request still needs someone to stop their work and update GitHub permissions.
- Preserves approval context
- Speeds up access
- Reduces repeated admin work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Discord and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal.
- 3Describe how approved messages in the access channel should update GitHub team repository permissions.
- 4Select the Discord new-message trigger and a report channel.
- 5Post one approved test request.
Questions about this workflow

New Discord Message Trigger
Polls a specific Discord channel for new messages.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Member Joined
Triggered when a new member joins a Discord server (guild) you manage.
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.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction (emoji) is added to a message in a monitored Discord channel.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
New Thread Created
Triggered when a new thread is created in a Discord channel within a monitored server.
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 Edited
Triggered when an existing message in a monitored Discord channel is edited.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Discord and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
