Give approved contractors GitHub access on time
Move onboarding forward while keeping access decisions explicit and traceable.
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
Access requests get buried between contracts, onboarding messages, and repository settings.
- Shortens onboarding delays
- Applies a consistent access rule
- Reduces forgotten invitations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Docparser and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction: when a parsed onboarding document confirms approval, add the named contractor to the specified GitHub repository with the approved permission.
- 4Choose the incoming webhook trigger, select the run-report channel, and test with one approved onboarding document.
Questions about this workflow
Can it avoid inviting people without approval?
Yes. Make approval status a required condition in the plain-language instruction.
Can it use different permissions?
Yes. Tell Notis how parsed role or project information should determine the collaborator permission.

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.
