Activate GitHub organization variables from Bubble approvals
When a repository clears environment review, make its shared Actions configuration available automatically.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add selected repository to an organization variable
Grants a repository access to an organization-level github actions variable, if that variable's visibility is set to 'selected repositories'.
Why this helps
A repository is approved for an environment, but its workflow lacks a shared variable because access was never updated.
- Keeps configuration access in step with approvals
- Reduces preventable workflow failures
- Avoids returning to GitHub for a small admin change
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Project bubble and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create a new automation through the portal or a Notis conversation.
- 3Tell Notis in plain language to grant the repository access to the named organization variable after an approved-environment webhook from Project bubble.
- 4Pick Incoming webhook, choose the reporting channel, and test on a staging repository.
Questions about this workflow
What must be configured in GitHub first?
The organization variable must already exist with visibility set to selected repositories.

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.
