Align GitHub team access with Vercel ownership
When responsibility moves, repository access should move with it.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add or update team repository permissions
Sets or updates a team's permission level for a repository within an organization; the team must be a member of the organization.
Why this helps
Ownership changes are often recorded in project tools but forgotten in GitHub, leaving teams with too much or too little access.
- Keeps access aligned with ownership
- Makes handoffs more complete
- Reduces permission cleanup later
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: When a Vercel project reassignment webhook arrives, set the named GitHub team's permission for the matching repository to the new approved level and report the update.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a reporting channel, then test with one reassignment.
Questions about this workflow
What if the team already has that permission?
GitHub returns the current permission without making an unnecessary change.
Does the team need to belong to the organization?
Yes. The team must be an organization team with access to the repository.

Recurring trigger

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.
