Auto-Block Departing Contacts from GitHub
When a contact's record is closed or marked inactive in Salesforce, Notis immediately blocks them from your GitHub organization. No lingering access, no security gaps, no manual steps.
Trigger
Contact Updated
Triggers when an existing Salesforce Contact record is modified. Emits changed fields alongside relevant timestamps.
Action
Block a user from an organization
Blocks an existing github user from an existing organization, preventing their contributions, collaboration, and forking of the organization's repositories.
Why this helps
Departing contacts remain unblocked in GitHub, able to see code and interact with repos weeks after leaving the company.
- Departing contacts are instantly blocked without manual steps
- Reduce security risk from former employees or contractors
- Automate offboarding and keep audit trails clean
- Eliminate forgotten blocks that create compliance issues
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Salesforce and GitHub to Notis
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a contact record is marked inactive or closed in Salesforce, block them from our GitHub organization'
- 3Specify which contact status values trigger blocking (e.g., 'Inactive', 'Departed', 'Archived')
- 4Choose notification settings
- 5Test by marking a test contact as inactive and verify they're blocked in GitHub
Questions about this workflow
Can they be unblocked if they're reactivated?
Ask Notis to set up a complementary automation that unblocks contacts when reactivated.
What if they have open PRs or issues?
Blocking doesn't delete their contributions—PRs and issues remain. They just can't interact with new content.
Does this apply to contractors and partners too?
Yes, anyone marked inactive in Salesforce can be blocked. You can refine conditions with Notis.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Salesforce to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Salesforce triggers
GitHub actions
Account Created or Updated
Triggers when an Account is created or updated in Salesforce. Uses LastModifiedDate high-watermark to capture both creations and updates.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Contact Updated
Triggers when an existing Salesforce Contact record is modified. Emits changed fields alongside relevant timestamps.
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.
Record Updated (Generic SObject)
Triggers when monitored fields change on any Salesforce SObject. You specify the SObject type and which field values should be returned in the payload. The trigger uses SystemModstamp to detect changes regardless of which specific field changed.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
New Contact Trigger
Triggers when a new Contact is Created in Salesforce.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
New Lead Trigger
Triggers when a new Lead is created in Salesforce.
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.
New or Updated Opportunity
Triggers when a Salesforce Opportunity is created or updated.
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.
Task Created or Completed
Triggers when a Task is created or when its status changes to Completed in Salesforce. Supports optional filtering by task Status or Subject.
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.
