Unblock trusted fork pull request checks
Keep review-approved contributions moving past the manual approval bottleneck.
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
Approves a workflow run from a forked repository's pull request; call this when such a run requires manual approval due to workflow configuration.
Why this helps
A pull request is ready for validation, but its workflow remains blocked behind an easy-to-miss approval step.
- Reduce CI waiting time
- Keep reviewed contributions moving
- Avoid manual GitHub status checks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Nango and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to approve the workflow run for a reviewed fork pull request when the trusted-review signal arrives.
- 4Pick an incoming webhook trigger and reporting channel, then test with one eligible pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Should every fork workflow be approved?
No. Limit the prompt to workflows identified as reviewed and trusted by your incoming request.
What happens if approval is not allowed?
Notis reports the failed run in your selected channel so it can be reviewed.

GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
