Keep active repositories configured for delivery
Let project activation trigger the small GitHub permission update that keeps workflows moving.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add selected repository to an organization variable
Grants a repository access to an organization-level github actions variable, if that variable's visibility is set to 'selected repositories'.
Why this helps
A missing organization variable permission can look like a mysterious deployment failure.
- Prevents avoidable workflow failures
- Keeps access scoped to selected repositories
- Removes a repeated admin task
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect SureContact and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in a conversation.
- 3Tell Notis: When SureContact reports that a project is active, grant its selected GitHub repository access to the named organization variable and report failures clearly.
- 4Pick an incoming webhook trigger, choose the reporting channel, and test with one active repository.
Questions about this workflow
Is the variable value exposed to Notis?
The action grants access to an existing variable; keep sensitive values in GitHub rather than in the prompt.
Can this be limited to production projects?
Yes. Include that condition in the instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link SureContact to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
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.
