Keep Your Research Shortlist Easy to Reach
A lightweight recurring check keeps important discovery repositories visible in your personal GitHub workflow.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Useful repositories are found during research but become hard to retrieve later.
- Maintains a dependable research shortlist
- Reduces repeated searching
- Keeps high-value technical references easy to revisit
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 conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: Review the selected RedCircle discovery repositories and check whether each is starred by my GitHub account, then report any missing stars.
- 4Choose a recurring trigger, select the channel for run reports, and test with one repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does this star repositories automatically?
This workflow checks status only, so you can decide which repositories deserve a star.
Can it check several repositories?
Yes. Include the shortlist or category context in the instruction.

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
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.
