Notis

Check your GitHub research bookmark during a weekly review

Keep valuable technical research findable without maintaining another list.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Check if repo starred by auth user

Use to determine if the authenticated user has starred a specific github repository, which is confirmed by an http 204 status (resulting in an empty dictionary in the response data); the action fails (e.g., http 404) if the repository is not starred or does not exist.

Why this helps

Useful research is hard to retrieve once the original context disappears.

  • Keeps research organized
  • Prevents duplicate searching

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub to Notis once.
  • 2Create a new automation in Automations.
  • 3Ask Notis to check whether the named repository is starred.
  • 4Choose a weekly schedule and report channel.
  • 5Test the check with a repository you know.

TriggerPolling

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.

Spotify and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
