Move approved contributors from Knack into GitHub
Turn a completed onboarding decision into the next concrete access step.
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
New collaborators wait for repository access while founders manually repeat onboarding tasks.
- Shortens the gap between approval and contribution.
- Creates a repeatable onboarding path.
- Cuts administrative follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Knack and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis what should happen.
- 3Use this instruction: When a contributor is approved in Knack, add them as a collaborator to the specified GitHub repository with the appropriate permission.
- 4Select an incoming webhook trigger, choose where run reports should arrive, and test with one approved contributor.

Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.

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.
