Create Breathe HR employee records from GitHub collaborators
A new contributor should not become another onboarding task to remember.
Trigger
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Action
Create Employee
Tool to create a new employee in BreatheHR. Use when you need to add a new employee record with their personal information, contact details, and employment information. Required fields are first_name, last_name, email, and company_join_date.
Why this helps
Founder-led onboarding often stalls between granting repository access and creating the employee record.
- Cuts duplicate onboarding admin
- Creates a consistent HR starting point
- Keeps repository access and people records aligned
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Breathe HR to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis: When a new GitHub collaborator is added, create the matching employee in Breathe HR using the available collaborator details and report anything missing.
- 4Choose the GitHub collaborator trigger, select a reporting channel, and test with one real collaborator.
Questions about this workflow
What happens if GitHub does not include every employee detail?
Notis can report the missing information so you can complete the record without losing the onboarding thread.
Does this replace access provisioning?
No. It keeps the HR record aligned after repository access is granted.
