Scheduled Team Permission Audit
Every month, Notis audits your team's GitHub repository permissions and sends you a report. Catch access creep and misconfiguration before they become problems.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check team permissions for a repository
Checks a team's permissions for a specific repository within an organization, including permissions inherited from parent teams.
Why this helps
Over time, people accumulate permissions they don't need. You don't know if a team still has the right access level to a repository, and auditing manually is tedious.
- Detect over-permissioning and security gaps
- Ensure teams have appropriate access levels
- Maintain audit trail of permission changes
- Reduce human error in permission management
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create a cron automation: "On the first Monday of each month, audit all team permissions in [repository] and send me a report of who has what access."
- 3Choose which repositories to audit or set it to 'all'.
- 4Review the monthly report and adjust permissions as needed.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis auto-fix permissions it finds to be wrong?
Not automatically, but you can approve changes in the report and Notis will apply them.
What does the report look like?
A table showing each team, their permission level per repository, and when it was last changed.
Can I set a different audit frequency?
Yes—weekly, monthly, quarterly, or custom intervals.

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.
