Turn approved access requests into GitHub invitations
Send an approved access request to Notis and add the requested GitHub user to the intended repository for a clear access handoff.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Approved access requests can linger while someone manually translates the decision into a repository invitation.
- Reduce manual handoffs for approved repository access.
- Keep the requested repository and user explicit in the automation.
- Make collaborator invitations easier to track through run reports.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to add the explicitly named GitHub user as a collaborator only when the webhook request states approval and identifies the repository.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approved request and verify the repository and user.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. The request should include an explicit approval, the repository, and the GitHub username.
Does adding a collaborator always grant access immediately?
GitHub may create an invitation or update permissions depending on the repository and account context. Review the run report and confirm the resulting access.

Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
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.
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.
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.
