Give new team members the right GitHub home
Make the first technical setup step predictable for every new hire or contractor.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add or update team membership for a user
Adds a github user to a team or updates their role (member or maintainer), inviting them to the organization if not already a member; idempotent, returning current details if no change is made.
Why this helps
New contributors lose momentum when access and team membership depend on a founder remembering several admin steps.
- Reduces onboarding friction
- Applies consistent team placement
- Keeps founders out of repetitive admin
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect SureContact and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation through the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: When SureContact sends a new technical contributor onboarding event, add the person to the specified GitHub team with the appropriate role.
- 4Select an incoming webhook trigger, choose the reporting channel, and test with one real onboarding event.
Questions about this workflow
Can this invite someone who is not yet in the organization?
Yes. GitHub can invite the user to the organization when adding or updating team membership, subject to permissions.
Can contractors use a different team?
Yes. Put the contractor rule in the instruction.

SureContact triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
