Accept approved GitHub repository invitations
Keep a simple approval email from becoming a second task in another tab.
Trigger
New Sent Message
Triggered when a new message is sent from the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Why this helps
Repository invitations linger because the approval and acceptance happen in different tools.
- Closes the access loop
- Reduces tab switching
- Avoids forgotten invitations

Calendar Event Changes
Triggered when a new calendar event occurs (created, updated, or deleted) in the Outlook calendar.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user

New Calendar Event

List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
New Outlook Message

New Sent Message
Triggered when a new message is sent from the Outlook mailbox.
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.
Not just Outlook and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
