Let approved contractor budget unlock the right repository access

When your finance process sends an approval signal, Notis can invite the intended collaborator to GitHub.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

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

Access requests and budget approval often live in separate places, creating slow and distracting back-and-forth.

  • Shortens approved contractor onboarding
  • Keeps access tied to an explicit decision

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect YNAB and GitHub in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation with an incoming webhook trigger.
  • 3Write the instruction for approved contractor budget signals and repository invitations.
  • 4Choose the channel that should receive confirmation.
  • 5Test with one trusted collaborator invitation.

Questions about this workflow

Can this be restricted to one repository?

Yes. Specify the allowed repository and collaborator rules in the automation prompt.
