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.

Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
