Make collaborator onboarding easier to begin
When someone joins a repository, Notis prepares a place for the context they need to contribute confidently.
Trigger
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Action
Create folder
Tool to create a new folder at a specified path in dropbox. use when you need to organize files by creating a new directory. requires the 'files.content.write' scope.
Why this helps
New collaborators often receive access before they receive the information that makes access useful.
- Creates consistent onboarding structure
- Reduces repeated setup work
- Supports clearer async collaboration
