Notis

Make team permissions easier to review

Replace permission uncertainty with a short recurring report.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

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

Action

Check team permissions for a repository

Checks a team's permissions for a specific repository within an organization, including permissions inherited from parent teams.

Why this helps

Founders often postpone permission reviews because checking every team and repository takes too much focus.

  • Surfaces permission mismatches.
  • Makes access reviews less taxing.
  • Supports safer delegation.

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 to set up the review.
  • 3Use this instruction: Check each Knack team and repository access expectation against the team's GitHub repository permissions and report mismatches.
  • 4Choose a recurring trigger, select a channel for reports, and test with one team-repository pair.

Questions about this workflow

TriggerInstant

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.

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