Keep Kieai Release Pushes Limited to the Right People
A release branch deserves clear ownership. Notis can apply an approved push policy at the moment your Kieai project reaches release mode.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add user access restrictions
Sets/replaces list of users allowed to push to a protected branch; usernames (e.g., `["user1"]`) must be a json array in request body (not schema parameters), an empty array `[]` removes all restrictions.
Why this helps
Last-minute branch access changes are easy to skip, increasing the risk of accidental release edits.
- Reduce accidental release changes.
- Apply policy consistently across launches.
- Remove a high-stakes manual reminder.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Kieai and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations -> New Automation or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When an approved Kieai release policy arrives, replace the allowed GitHub users for the named protected branch with the specified list.
- 4Select an incoming webhook trigger and report channel, then test with a protected staging branch.
Questions about this workflow
What if the allowed list should be empty?
An empty list removes the user restrictions, so use that only when the release policy explicitly requires it.
Can this run for every branch?
Scope it to named release branches to avoid unexpected repository-wide changes.

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