Sync GitHub project access with roadmap ownership
Add a roadmap item and assign an owner in Sheets. Notis instantly adds that person as a collaborator to the GitHub project with the right permissions to manage it.
Trigger
Spreadsheet Metadata Changed
Polling trigger that detects when a Google Spreadsheet's metadata changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect any changes in spreadsheet properties, sheets, named ranges, developer metadata, data sources, etc.
Action
Add project collaborator
Adds a specified github user as a collaborator to an existing organization project with a given permission level.
Why this helps
GitHub projects sit dormant because people don't know they exist or don't have access. Roadmap ownership is tracked in Sheets, but GitHub project access is separate and stale.
- Project owners have instant access without requests
- Keep GitHub projects actively managed and current
- Reduce coordination overhead
- Projects stay aligned with roadmap ownership
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and GitHub to Notis
- 2Create an automation: 'When I add a roadmap item and assign an owner, add them to the GitHub project'
- 3Select 'New Rows in Google Sheet' as your trigger
- 4Tell Notis which column holds the owner name and which GitHub project to add them to
- 5Test by adding a roadmap item with an owner and verifying they appear in the GitHub project
Questions about this workflow
Can multiple people be project collaborators?
Yes. If your sheet has multiple owners listed, Notis will add all of them with the roles you specify.
What if someone is already a project collaborator?
Notis will verify they're listed and update their role if needed. No duplicates or errors.
Can I link to different GitHub projects based on roadmap category?
Yes. You can set up rules: 'Feature roadmap items' → Project A, 'Infrastructure roadmap items' → Project B.

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.
