Assign a GitHub organization role to a user from an incoming webhook
Someone changes roles, and their GitHub access stays stuck in their old one for weeks. When your HR tool or backend sends Notis a webhook, Notis assigns the right organization role to the user, so their access matches their responsibilities the day it changes.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Assign an organization role to a user
Assigns a specific organization role to a user who is a member or an outside collaborator in a github organization, using a valid role id.
Why this helps
Role changes rarely propagate to GitHub on time, leaving people over-permissioned, under-permissioned, or waiting on a manual grant.
- Access matches the role change the day it happens.
- Your existing HR system can drive GitHub permissions.
- No more manual role grants trailing behind promotions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Tell Notis: When my HR tool sends a webhook, assign the named organization role to the user it specifies.
- 3Pick the incoming webhook trigger and add the URL Notis gives you to your HR system.
- 4Choose a channel where Notis confirms the role assignment.
- 5Send a test webhook and verify the role is assigned.

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.
