Give contractors access without the access scramble
Start collaborations smoothly while keeping repository permissions intentional.
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
Access requests get delayed because repository permissions are easy to forget during onboarding.
- Shorten onboarding time
- Apply consistent access decisions
- Reduce forgotten permission requests
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.
- 3Describe the outcome: add an approved contractor as a collaborator on the specified GitHub repository with the intended permission.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a run-report channel, then test with one approved contractor.
Questions about this workflow
Does this grant access to every repository?
No. Your plain-language instruction can limit the action to the repository identified in the request.
Can Notis report failures?
Yes. Choose a channel for run reports so you can see whether the access change succeeded.

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.
