Give approved hotfix owners protected-branch access
Turn the incident ownership decision into precise GitHub push access while the response is underway.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add user access restrictions
Sets/replaces list of users allowed to push to a protected branch; usernames (e.g., `["user1"]`) must be a json array in request body (not schema parameters), an empty array `[]` removes all restrictions.
Why this helps
During a hotfix, the approved responders still need someone to update branch access, adding friction at the worst moment.
- Accelerates controlled hotfix response
- Keeps access limited to named owners
- Removes an urgent context switch
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Project bubble and GitHub in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by asking Notis or opening New Automation.
- 3Describe in one prompt how the approved Project bubble hotfix-owner webhook should replace the protected branch's allowed GitHub users.
- 4Choose Incoming webhook and a run-report channel, then test with a protected staging branch.
Questions about this workflow
What happens to users already on the restriction list?
The action replaces the full list, so include every user who should retain push access in the approved Project bubble signal.

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.
