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

Triggers when a Google Calendar event is cancelled or deleted. Returns minimal data: event_id, summary (if available), and cancellation timestamp.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

**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).

TriggerInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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).

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Not just Google Calendar and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
