Invite Mintlify Documentation Contributors to GitHub
Approved contributors can get access while the context is still fresh.
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
Repository invitations are easy to postpone when contributor requests arrive alongside other founder tasks.
- Speeds up contributor onboarding.
- Keeps access decisions tied to the original docs request.
- Avoids repeatedly opening repository settings.
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.
- 3Tell Notis to add the approved Mintlify contributor as a GitHub repository collaborator with the requested permission.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one approved contributor request.
Questions about this workflow
Can this invite anyone who submits feedback?
No. The instruction should require an explicit approved contributor request.
What access does it grant?
Notis follows the permission stated in the instruction and the repository's GitHub rules.

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.
