Keep service ownership reflected in GitHub
Ownership changes should update the places where work gets assigned.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add or update team membership for a user
Adds a github user to a team or updates their role (member or maintainer), inviting them to the organization if not already a member; idempotent, returning current details if no change is made.
Why this helps
A new service owner can remain outside the relevant GitHub team, causing avoidable handoffs.
- Keeps ownership changes actionable
- Reduces handoff confusion
- Makes team administration repeatable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect New Relic and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Instruct Notis to add or update the responsible user's membership in the GitHub team named for the New Relic service.
- 4Select the incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one approved team member.

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.
New relic and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
