Process repository access requests with less friction
Access requests should have a clear path from message to permission.
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
Small access requests interrupt deep work and are easy to postpone indefinitely.
- Reduce interruption cost
- Keep access changes traceable
- Speed up legitimate collaboration
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ntfy and GitHub to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
- 3Use the instruction: For each approved Ntfy request, add or update the named GitHub repository collaborator with the requested permission.
- 4Select an incoming webhook trigger, choose a reporting channel, and test with one approved request.
Questions about this workflow
Can this distinguish approved requests?
Include approval in the incoming request or instruction so Notis only acts on approved access.
Will I receive a result?
Notis reports the action outcome in the channel you choose.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Ntfy to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

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.
