Notis

Keep federation identity checks in a routine

For teams that use Gitea federation, Notis can retrieve a user's ActivityPub actor representation as part of a scheduled check.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get ActivityPub Person Actor

Tool to retrieve the ActivityPub Person actor for a Gitea user. Use when you need to fetch a user's ActivityPub representation for federation purposes or to get ActivityStreams-formatted user data.

Why this helps

Federation details can be easy to forget when they are needed only occasionally.

  • Make occasional federation checks easier to repeat.
  • Keep identity research connected to an operations cadence.
  • Reduce the effort of rediscovering the lookup path.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Feathery and Gitea to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation or ask Notis to retrieve a Gitea user's ActivityPub actor representation for federation review.
  • 3Choose a recurring schedule and your channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with one appropriate user reference and confirm the returned actor data is useful.
