Notis

Give approved incident responders repository access

Bring the right person into the fix without a separate access chase.

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

A specialist can be ready to help but blocked by repository access during a critical window.

  • Shortens access delays
  • Keeps escalation focused

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect incident.io and GitHub to Notis once.
  • 2Create an incoming webhook automation for approved responder escalations.
  • 3Tell Notis to add the named approved responder as a collaborator on the incident repository.
  • 4Select a run-report channel and test using a permitted collaborator.

Questions about this workflow

Can this be limited to approved people?

Yes. State the approved responder source and repository scope in the prompt.
