Notis

Approve a trusted GitHub fork workflow from a release webhook

Avoid losing a release handoff to one manual approval step.

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

A single pending approval can stall work after everyone has moved on.

  • Keeps an approved release path moving
  • Reduces manual handoffs

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub to Notis once.
  • 2Create a new automation and describe the trusted workflow approval rule.
  • 3Choose an incoming Notis webhook as the trigger.
  • 4Select the channel that should receive run reports.
  • 5Send one real test webhook for a safe workflow run.

Questions about this workflow

Should this approve every fork run?

No. State the exact trusted repository and run criteria in the prompt.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Spotify to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

GitHub actions

Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.

ActionInstant

Spotify Playlist Item Change

Triggers when songs are added to or removed from a Spotify playlist.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

Triggers when a new playlist is created or deleted.

TriggerPolling

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

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.

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

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Not just Spotify and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
