Centralize New Team Member Access

Notis creates a shortcut in Google Drive whenever a new collaborator is added to your repository. Onboarding resources and team member info stays organized in one place.

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 Shortcut to File/Folder

Tool to create a shortcut to a file or folder in google drive. use when you need to link to an existing drive item from another location without duplicating it.

Why this helps

New collaborators get scattered across email intros, GitHub permissions, and verbal handoffs. Onboarding docs don't centralize who has access to what.

  • Onboarding team members becomes systematic, not ad-hoc
  • Centralized access to all team resources in Drive
  • Permissions stay synced between GitHub and Drive
  • Team roster stays accurate and up-to-date

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Google Drive to Notis.
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When a new collaborator is added to the repository, create a shortcut in Google Drive to their team member profile and documentation.'
  • 3Select 'New Repository Collaborator Added' as your trigger.
  • 4Choose a Notis reporting channel.
  • 5Add a new collaborator to your GitHub repository to test.

Questions about this workflow

What does Notis shortcut to in Drive?

You define the target. Common setups: a team member template doc, an onboarding checklist, or a centralized team directory.

Do I need to manually create the team member doc first?

You can point Notis to an existing doc or folder. Or ask Notis to create a new team member doc from a template when the shortcut is added.

Can I exclude certain collaborators (bots, contractors)?

Yes. Tell Notis: 'Only create shortcuts for human users' or 'Skip bots and CI accounts.' Notis filters based on your criteria.
