Give approved contributors a clear GitHub start
A ready contributor should not wait for a founder to remember one more access step.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Community contributors lose momentum when onboarding depends on an ad hoc access request and manual invitation.
- Preserves contributor momentum
- Standardizes access decisions
- Reduces onboarding coordination
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Lemlist and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Write: When Lemlist confirms an approved community contributor, add that GitHub user to the relevant repository with the defined permission and report the outcome.
- 4Select notis_webhook, choose the run-report channel, and test with one approved contributor.
- 5Verify the collaborator status in GitHub.
