Check GitHub team permissions against Dropbox plans
Permission clarity gives every collaborator a cleaner starting point.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check team permissions for a repository
Checks a team's permissions for a specific repository within an organization, including permissions inherited from parent teams.
Why this helps
Team plans in Dropbox describe expected access, but permission drift in GitHub stays hidden until someone is blocked.
- Highlights permission drift before it causes delays
- Supports smoother delegation
- Creates a regular operational safety net
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Dropbox and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up in plain language.
- 3Instruct Notis to compare team and repository permissions described in the Dropbox plan with GitHub's current status, then report differences.
- 4Pick a recurring Notis cron trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test with one team plan.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Dropbox and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
