Approve GitHub Preview Runs from Mintlify Requests
Preview requests should move forward quickly when the contributor and change are already trusted.
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
Approve a workflow run for a forked pull request.
Why this helps
Manual approval gates interrupt focused work and make small documentation contributions wait.
- Shortens the wait for legitimate docs previews.
- Keeps approval criteria in one plain-language instruction.
- Leaves an auditable run report in the chosen channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Mintlify and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Instruct Notis to approve a GitHub fork workflow run only when the Mintlify preview request identifies a trusted contributor and matching docs change.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for reports.
- 5Test with one eligible preview request.
Questions about this workflow
Is every fork run approved?
No. The instruction should require the trusted-contributor and matching-preview conditions before approval.
What if the run is not waiting for approval?
GitHub only approves runs that are awaiting the relevant manual approval.
