Notis

Verify GitHub repository access during contractor onboarding

Keep onboarding moving without guessing whether access was granted.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Check if a user is a repository collaborator

Checks if a user is a collaborator on a specified github repository, returning a 204 status if they are, or a 404 status if they are not or if the repository/user does not exist.

Why this helps

Access uncertainty creates back-and-forth just as a new collaborator is ready to begin.

  • Reduces onboarding back-and-forth
  • Makes access status explicit

  • 1Connect GitHub to Notis once.
  • 2Create a new automation with the repository-access check in plain language.
  • 3Select an incoming Notis webhook trigger.
  • 4Choose the channel for onboarding reports.
  • 5Send one test onboarding webhook.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant
