Move release approval into the GitHub workflow
One clear approval can unblock the next automated check.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Approve a workflow run for a fork pull request
Approves a workflow run from a forked repository's pull request; call this when such a run requires manual approval due to workflow configuration.
Why this helps
Approved work remains stuck when the release decision and GitHub workflow approval live in separate places.
- Unblocks approved automation faster.
- Preserves a clear approval process.
- Reduces repeated manual checks.
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 ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When a release approval arrives from Knack, approve the corresponding GitHub workflow run for the fork pull request.
- 4Select an incoming webhook trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with one approved release.
Questions about this workflow
When should this be used?
Use it when a GitHub workflow run from a fork pull request is waiting for explicit approval.
Does Knack need to send an HTTP request?
Yes. The external system or backend sends the event to Notis through a webhook.

GitHub actions
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.
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.
