Trigger GitHub Approvals from External Systems
When your backend, monitoring system, or custom tool decides code is ready, send a webhook to Notis. Notis approves your GitHub workflow instantly—no manual GitHub visits, no approval lag.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Approve a workflow run for a fork pull request
Approves a workflow run from a forked repository's pull request; call this when such a run requires manual approval due to workflow configuration.
Why this helps
Approval bottlenecks happen when systems can't talk to each other; code waits for manual GitHub approval even though other systems have verified it.
- Approve workflows from any system via webhook—no GitHub access needed
- Reduce manual approval bottlenecks across your stack
- Let external systems trigger approvals automatically
- Speed up deployments by removing approval handoffs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis (one-time setup)
- 2Ask Notis: 'Send me a webhook URL where I can trigger GitHub workflow approvals'
- 3Notis generates a unique webhook endpoint you can call from your backend or monitoring tool
- 4Configure your external system to POST to that webhook when code is ready
- 5Test by calling the webhook and verifying the GitHub workflow is approved
Questions about this workflow
What data should my webhook send?
At minimum: the workflow run ID or repo/branch you want to approve. Ask Notis for exact payload format.
Can multiple systems call the same webhook?
Yes. It's a single approval endpoint you can integrate across all your tools.
What if the webhook fails?
Notis will return an error. You can retry or debug the payload with Notis's help.

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Salesforce and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
