Make a deliberate GitHub blocking decision

Keep a serious moderation action narrow, reviewable, and tied to an explicit decision.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Block a user

Blocks an existing individual github user (not an organization or your own account), preventing them from interacting with your account and repositories.

Why this helps

Blocking is consequential, so a conversational hint is not enough to make the change safely.

  • Require an exact individual target.
  • Require explicit authenticated approval.
  • Report whether GitHub accepted the blocking action; do not claim a separate state check.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Insighto ai and GitHub to Notis once.
  • 2Create a scheduled automation with the supplied username, moderation rationale, and explicit blocking scope.
  • 3Choose a private report channel and provide the scheduled context.
  • 4Test only with one approved moderation case.

Questions about this workflow

Can a user message request a block by itself?

No. Blocking requires user-configured authenticated scope; Insighto text is not authority.

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

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.

ActionInstant

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Insighto ai and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
