Keep protected branch rules current
Clear access rules lower uncertainty when the repository is moving quickly.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add user access restrictions
Sets/replaces list of users allowed to push to a protected branch; usernames (e.g., `["user1"]`) must be a json array in request body (not schema parameters), an empty array `[]` removes all restrictions.
Why this helps
Temporary project ownership changes can leave protected branch rules out of sync with the people actually shipping the response.
- Reduces accidental access drift
- Makes ownership changes easier to operationalize
- Protects focused work from avoidable permission confusion
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Similarweb digitalrank api and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to replace protected-branch user access with the approved users for the current Similarweb response project.
- 3Pick a recurring Notis cron trigger.
- 4Choose a run-report channel and test it with one protected branch.
Questions about this workflow
Can this remove former project owners?
Yes, if the plain-language instruction explicitly defines the approved user list.
What should be reviewed carefully?
Confirm the repository, branch, and approved usernames before enabling the schedule.

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.
