Update team repository permissions after a private approval
Let a sensitive access decision take effect from the private approval thread, with Notis carrying the exact repository permission into GitHub.
Trigger
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Action
Add or update team repository permissions
Sets or updates a team's permission level for a repository within an organization; the team must be a member of the organization.
Why this helps
Sensitive permission approvals can be documented in a private Linear issue but remain unapplied in GitHub.
- Keeps sensitive approvals in a private workflow
- Supports read, write, and admin permission levels
- Reduces the chance of an approved access request being dropped
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Tell Notis which authorized private comments should update a named team's permission for a named repository.
- 3Select the private team comment created trigger and choose a secure channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a low-risk team and repository permission change.

Linear triggers
GitHub actions
Recurring trigger

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.
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Issue Created Trigger
Triggered when a new issue is created.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
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.
Private Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
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.
Private Team Issue Created
Fires when a new issue appears in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
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.
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
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.
