Make Kieai Codespaces Ready When Developers Need Them
Environment setup can become a bottleneck before anyone writes code. Let an approved Kieai repository receive the needed Codespaces secret access automatically.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add a selected repository to a user secret
Grants a specified repository access to an authenticated user's existing codespaces secret, enabling codespaces created for that repository to use the secret.
Why this helps
Developers lose time when a repository is ready but its Codespaces environment cannot access an existing secret.
- Speed up environment setup.
- Reduce repeated admin work.
- Make approved repository access consistent.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Kieai and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations -> New Automation or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: When Codespaces access is approved for a Kieai project, grant the named GitHub repository access to the existing user Codespaces secret.
- 4Select an incoming webhook trigger and reporting channel, then test with a non-sensitive development repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new secret?
No. It grants the repository access to an existing authenticated user's Codespaces secret.
Can the secret value be exposed to Notis?
No secret value is needed in the instruction; only the existing secret and repository context are referenced.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Kieai to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

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