Keep org secrets accessible to all matching repositories
New repositories matching your team's criteria (e.g., 'node-services', 'api-*') automatically get access to shared GitHub Actions secrets. No one has to remember to grant access.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Search Match
Triggers when a new spreadsheet appears that matches a saved search. This trigger uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when spreadsheets matching the search criteria are newly created or become visible to the user.
Action
Add selected repository to an organization secret
Adds a repository to an organization secret's access list when the secret's visibility is 'selected'; this operation is idempotent.
Why this helps
New repositories launch without critical secrets access. Teams discover weeks later that deployment is blocked because they forgot to grant organization secrets. Manual access management doesn't scale.
- New repositories are production-ready immediately
- Eliminate manual secrets grants
- Consistent access across matching repos
- Reduce deployment gotchas
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and GitHub to Notis
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new repository matches my naming pattern, grant it access to organization secrets'
- 3Select 'Spreadsheet Search Match' as your trigger (use Sheets to define search criteria)
- 4Specify repository naming patterns and which secrets to grant
- 5Test by creating a new matching repository and confirming it gets secrets access
Questions about this workflow
How do I define which repositories should get access?
Use search criteria in your sheet (e.g., name patterns, topics, team ownership) and Notis applies rules accordingly.
Can I grant different secrets to different repository types?
Yes. You can set rules: 'backend-*' gets deploy secrets, 'frontend-*' gets CDN secrets, etc.
What if a repository is created outside Sheets?
Notis monitors your GitHub organization for new repositories matching criteria, regardless of where they're created.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Sheets to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Sheets triggers
GitHub actions
Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Cell Range Values Changed
Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.
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.
Conditional Format Rule Changed
Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Data Validation Rule Changed
Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Developer Metadata Changed
Triggers when developer metadata entries change (new/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
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.
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
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.
New Rows in Google Sheet
Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.
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.
New Sheet Added in Google Spreadsheet
Polling trigger that detects when a new sheet is added to a Google Spreadsheet.
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 Sheets and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
