Invite GitHub collaborators when a Trello initiative begins
Let an approved project start trigger the practical invitation it needs.
Trigger
New Board Trigger
Triggered when a board is created in the specified workspace
Action
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.
Why this helps
External collaborators wait for manual repository invitations after a project has already begun.
- Removes onboarding delay
- Keeps project context together
- Avoids forgotten invitations
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Trello and GitHub in Notis.
- 2Create a portal automation for approved initiative boards.
- 3Write that the specified new Trello board should invite the approved collaborator to the related GitHub repository, choose New Board, select a channel, and test an initiative board.
