Make New Research Repositories Ready for Automation
The app that powers your workflow can reach a new repository as soon as the work is activated.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
New repositories are created or selected faster than app access is updated, causing silent automation gaps.
- Prevents app-based workflow gaps
- Shortens repository onboarding
- Reduces manual permission administration
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect RedCircle API and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: When RedCircle research activates a repository for automation, add that repository to the specified GitHub App installation and report the result.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger, select a channel for run reports, and test with one activated repository.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link RedCircle API to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
RedCircle API triggers
GitHub actions
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.
RedCircle API and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
