Check GitHub access before deployment windows
Catch an access problem while there is still time to fix it.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check a token
Checks if a github app or oauth access token is valid for the specified client id and retrieves its details, typically to verify its active status and grants.
Why this helps
Expired or misconfigured GitHub credentials often surface at the worst possible moment, after the founder has switched into launch mode.
- Surfaces credential issues early
- Protects focused deployment time
- Creates a predictable readiness check
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Vercel and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create one.
- 3Tell Notis: Before each Vercel deployment window, check the configured GitHub token and report whether it is valid and what access details GitHub returns.
- 4Pick a recurring pre-deployment schedule and a reporting channel, then test with one deployment window.
Questions about this workflow
Does this expose the token?
No. The instruction asks GitHub to validate the connected token and report its status, not its secret value.
What should I do if the check fails?
Use the report as an early warning to reconnect or repair access before deployment work begins.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Vercel and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
