Keep team access aligned with ownership
A recurring ownership review removes the quiet permission drift that creates confusion later.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add or update team repository permissions
Sets or updates a team's permission level for a repository within an organization; the team must be a member of the organization.
Why this helps
Teams change faster than repository permissions, leaving people with too much or too little access.
- Reduces access drift across repositories
- Makes ownership changes easier to complete
- Supports cleaner team handoffs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outline and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction: review current Outline ownership notes, identify approved team repository permission changes, apply them to the named organization repositories, and report differences or failures.
- 4Pick a monthly Notis cron trigger and choose a reporting channel.
- 5Test with one team and repository.
Questions about this workflow
Will it infer permissions from job titles?
It should use explicit permissions in the Outline request and report anything unclear.
Can it preserve existing access?
Yes. Instruct Notis to change only explicitly approved team permissions.

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