Move repository access requests out of your follow-up queue
Put the repository and GitHub username in the task. Notis can handle the collaborator action when the task is updated.
Trigger
Task Updated
Triggers when an existing task is updated in a Google Tasks list. This trigger monitors a specific task list and fires when tasks are modified.
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
Repository access requests sit in a task list until someone remembers to open GitHub and send the invitation.
- Turn an access request recorded in a task into a GitHub collaborator action.
- Reduce the chance that onboarding follow-up gets overlooked.
- Keep the repository and username together with the task context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to add the named GitHub user as a collaborator to the repository identified in the updated task.
- 4Pick the Google Tasks Task Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task containing a repository and GitHub username.
Questions about this workflow
What should the task say?
Include the repository and the GitHub username to add. State the intended access request clearly.
Can I specify permissions?
The action description says personal repositories default to push and ignore the permission field. For organization-owned repositories, the permission applies.
Does adding a collaborator always grant access immediately?
GitHub may create an invitation, or update permissions directly, depending on the repository and user.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Tasks to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Tasks triggers
GitHub actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a Google Tasks list. Uses timestamp filtering (updatedMin) to efficiently detect new tasks.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
New Task List Created
Triggers when a new Google Tasks task list is created. This trigger monitors Google Tasks and fires when new task lists are detected.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Task Details Changed
Triggers when a specific task's details change. This trigger monitors a single Google Task and fires when any of its details (title, notes, status, due date, completion, position) are modified.
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.
Task List Changed
Triggers when a task list changes (title or content updates). This trigger monitors a specific Google Tasks list and fires 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.
Task Updated
Triggers when an existing task is updated in a Google Tasks list. This trigger monitors a specific task list and fires when tasks are modified.
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.
