Keep dependency updates from waiting on permissions
When a repository is ready for Dependabot, its access can be ready too.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add selected repo to org secret
Grants an existing repository access to an existing organization-level dependabot secret; the repository must belong to the organization, and the call succeeds without change if access already exists.
Why this helps
Dependency automation quietly fails when a new repository is missing one organization-secret permission.
- Improves dependency-update continuity
- Reduces silent onboarding gaps
- Makes security automation easier to scale
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Doppler and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation asking Notis to add the approved repository to the specified organization Dependabot secret.
- 3Use an incoming webhook trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Send one approval event and confirm the repository is included in the secret access list.
Questions about this workflow
Is this for GitHub Actions secrets?
No. It specifically grants access to an existing organization-level Dependabot secret.
Can it be safely called twice?
Yes. The action succeeds without change when access is already granted.

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.
Doppler and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
