Update GitHub Social Links from Mintlify Launches
A launch is a good moment to make the public profile match the channels people can actually follow.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add social accounts for the authenticated user
Adds one or more social media links (which must be valid, full urls for platforms supported by github) to the authenticated user's public github profile.
Why this helps
Profile housekeeping gets postponed even when a new launch makes the missing link obvious.
- Keeps the public GitHub profile current.
- Connects launch work with profile maintenance.
- Avoids another small task entering the backlog.
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 approved, valid social URLs from the Mintlify launch request to the authenticated GitHub profile.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one launch containing a new social link.
Questions about this workflow
Are arbitrary URLs accepted?
No. GitHub requires valid full URLs for supported social platforms.
Can this remove old links?
This action adds links; removal would require a different GitHub action.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Mintlify and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
