Automatically Accept Repository Invitations for New Contacts

Pending GitHub invitations shouldn't sit waiting for manual acceptance. When a contact joins in Hubspot, Notis auto-accepts their repo invitations so they can start collaborating immediately.

Accept a repository invitation

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

Why this helps

New contacts have pending GitHub invitations they forget to accept. Repository access is delayed; onboarding stalls.

  • New contacts gain repository access instantly, no manual acceptance required
  • Onboarding is faster; new people can start working immediately
  • No more forgotten invitations cluttering GitHub notifications
  • Eliminates a common source of 'why can't I see this repo?' delays

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Hubspot and GitHub to Notis.
  • 2Ask Notis: 'When a new contact is created, automatically accept any pending GitHub repository invitations for them.'
  • 3Set Contact Created as your trigger.
  • 4Pick your notification channel.
  • 5Test by sending a repo invitation and creating a matching contact in Hubspot.

Questions about this workflow

Does this accept all invitations or just specific ones?

You can specify. For example, 'accept all invitations' or 'accept only invitations to production-related repositories'.

What if there are no pending invitations?

Notis logs that there were none to accept and continues safely. No errors.

Can I reject some invitations?

Not with this automation. For selective handling, use Notis webhooks or a separate automation to reject unwanted invitations.

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.
