Keep dependency automation ready for new projects
New projects should inherit the safety basics without a manual permissions scavenger hunt.
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 is delayed when each new repository needs a separate secret access update.
- Speed up secure onboarding
- Reduce forgotten dependency setup
- Keep secret access scoped
- Lower repetitive admin work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ko-fi and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When a repository becomes approved Ko-Fi-backed work, add it to the selected access list for the named GitHub organization Dependabot secret and report the result.
- 4Pick an incoming webhook trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with one approved repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change Dependabot settings?
No. It grants the selected repository access to an existing secret.
Is the operation safe to repeat?

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