Check a GitHub block status privately
Answer a moderation-status question without turning it into an irreversible action.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if a user is blocked by the authenticated user
Checks if the specified github user is blocked by the authenticated user; a 204 no content response indicates the user is blocked, while a 404 not found indicates they are not.
Why this helps
Sensitive account-status checks are easy to mishandle when they are mixed with conversational assumptions.
- Keep the check read-only.
- Use the exact supplied username.
- Return a simple status for the authorized operator.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Insighto ai and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation to check the supplied account's block status.
- 3Choose an incoming webhook and a private report channel.
- 4Send one approved moderation-context payload and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does this block or unblock the account?
No. It only checks the authenticated user's existing block status.

Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Insighto ai and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
