Set GitHub team repository permissions when a kickoff event is created
A new project means a new team touching a repo, and access requests always trail the kickoff by days. When the kickoff event is booked, Notis sets the team's permission level on the repository, so everyone can start contributing from the first meeting.
Trigger
Event Created
Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.
Action
Add or update team repository permissions
Sets or updates a team's permission level for a repository within an organization; the team must be a member of the organization.
Why this helps
Teams get blocked on repo access right when a project starts, because permissions are set reactively after people hit a wall.
- The team has repo access from the kickoff, not days later.
- Ties access to the project start you already schedule.
- Removes a reactive access-request loop.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and GitHub to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: When a project kickoff event is created, give the project team write access to the repo.
- 3Select the Google Calendar event created trigger.
- 4Choose a channel where Notis confirms the permission change.
- 5Test with a sample kickoff event and verify the team permission.
Questions about this workflow
Which permission levels are supported?
You choose read, write, or admin in your prompt and Notis applies it.
Does the team need to be in the org?
Yes. The team must belong to the organization that owns the repository.
Can I set different repos for different projects?
Yes. Name the repo in each prompt and Notis targets it.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Calendar to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Calendar triggers
GitHub actions
Attendee Response Changed
Polling trigger that fires when any attendee's RSVP changes to accepted, declined, or tentative. Returns attendee info and current status.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Event Canceled or Deleted
Triggers when a Google Calendar event is cancelled or deleted. Returns minimal data: event_id, summary (if available), and cancellation timestamp.
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.
Event Starting Soon
Triggers when a calendar event is within a configured number of minutes from starting. Returns event details, time remaining, attendees, and join links when available.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Calendar Event Changes
**SOON TO BE DEPRECATED** - Use Calendar Event Sync (polling trigger) instead. Real-time webhook trigger for calendar event changes. Returns event metadata only. For full event data, use Calendar Event Sync (polling trigger).
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Event Created
Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.
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.
Calendar Event Sync
Polling trigger that returns full event data including details, attendees, and metadata. For real-time notifications with basic info, use Calendar Event Changes (webhook).
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.
Event Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Calendar event is modified. Returns the event ID, change type, and the specific fields that changed with their previous and new values.
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 Google Calendar and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
