Scheduled GitHub Organization Security Audit
Every month, Notis audits your GitHub organization's security settings. It checks who's blocked, permission changes, and recommends updates.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Block a user from an organization
Blocks an existing github user from an existing organization, preventing their contributions, collaboration, and forking of the organization's repositories.
Why this helps
You don't know if someone blocked in your org should still be blocked, or if security settings have drifted. Manual audits are tedious and easy to skip.
- Regular security checkups without effort
- Catch suspicious activity early
- Maintain compliance and audit trails
- Reduce security configuration drift
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create a cron automation: "On the first day of each month, audit [organization] security settings. List blocked users, permission changes, and any anomalies."
- 3Choose who receives the monthly security report (email, Slack, etc.).
- 4Review the report and take action on any suspicious items.
Questions about this workflow
What counts as an 'anomaly' in the security audit?
Unexpected permission grants, users re-added after blocking, or changes by unfamiliar accounts.
Can Notis auto-block suspicious users?
Not automatically for safety, but it can alert you and provide a one-click block option.
Does Notis include member invitations in the audit?
Yes, pending invitations and recent members are included for review.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Gmail to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Gmail triggers
GitHub actions
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Gmail and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
