Turn approved access requests into action
Access requests often arrive as messy text. Let Notis extract the important details and carry out the GitHub change when approval is clear.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Manual collaborator setup is easy to delay, especially when requests arrive across multiple channels.
- Reduces access-request backlog
- Standardizes permission handling
- Keeps the request and action connected
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Rosette text analytics and GitHub to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to process approved collaborator requests.
- 3Use this instruction: Extract the person, repository, permission, and approval status from each incoming request, then add the collaborator only when approval is explicit.
- 4Select an incoming webhook trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test with one approved request.
Questions about this workflow
Will it act on an unapproved request?
The instruction should require explicit approval, so unclear or incomplete requests can be reported instead.
Can it set repository permissions?
Yes. The GitHub action supports adding a collaborator and updating the permission where applicable.

Rosette text analytics 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.
