Notis

Release approved outside work without losing the approval trail

A budget approval signal can let Notis approve the corresponding eligible GitHub Actions run from a fork.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Approve a workflow run for a fork pull request

Approves a workflow run from a forked repository's pull request; call this when such a run requires manual approval due to workflow configuration.

Why this helps

Waiting to approve a safe, funded contributor workflow can interrupt momentum and invite forgotten follow-up.

  • Speeds up approved contributor work
  • Keeps a clear approval boundary

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect YNAB and GitHub with Notis.
  • 2Create a webhook-based automation.
  • 3Describe which approved work and fork workflow runs Notis may approve.
  • 4Set a channel for approval reports.
  • 5Test with a known eligible fork pull request.

Questions about this workflow

Is every fork workflow approved?

No. The prompt should narrowly define the repositories and approved work this applies to.

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.
