Approve GitHub fork runs after Dropbox review
Once the decision is documented, the waiting workflow should not need another chase.
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 founder records approval in Dropbox but still has to find and manually approve the corresponding fork pull request run in GitHub.
- Moves documented approval into GitHub promptly
- Reduces waiting on approved contributions
- Preserves a clear review-to-action trail
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Dropbox and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations -> New Automation, or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis to read a Dropbox review record and approve the matching GitHub fork pull request workflow run only when the record explicitly approves it.
- 4Use a Notis webhook trigger, choose a reporting channel, and test with one approved review record.
Questions about this workflow
Does this approve every fork run?
No. The instruction should require an explicit approval and identify the matching pull request.
Can Notis report skipped reviews?
Yes. Ask it to report when approval is missing or the matching run cannot be identified.

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

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.
