Make saved developer tools easier to evaluate
Turn a bookmark into a quick signal about what you have already chosen to follow.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check if repo starred by auth user
Use to determine if the authenticated user has starred a specific github repository, which is confirmed by an http 204 status (resulting in an empty dictionary in the response data); the action fails (e.g., http 404) if the repository is not starred or does not exist.
Why this helps
Tool research repeats because it is hard to remember which repositories you already evaluated or starred.
- Prevents repeated evaluation
- Adds a quick decision signal
- Keeps tool research connected to GitHub
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Raindrop.io and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Describe the outcome: When a developer-tool Raindrop webhook arrives, find its GitHub repository and check whether I have starred it.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger, select a channel for reports, and test with one saved tool.
Questions about this workflow
Does it star the repository automatically?
No. It checks the current star status so you can decide what deserves attention.
What kind of Raindrop items work best?
Items with a clear repository link or tool name are easiest for Notis to interpret.

Notis builds workflows that link Raindrop.io to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Raindrop.io triggers
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.
