Assign an organization role after a private access approval
Turn a sensitive role approval into the matching GitHub organization change without leaving a privileged task in a separate admin backlog.
Trigger
Private Team Issue Properties Updated
Fires when properties on an issue change in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).
Action
Assign an organization role to a user
Assigns a specific organization role to a user who is a member or an outside collaborator in a github organization, using a valid role id.
Why this helps
Custom organization role changes are easy to delay after the approval has already been captured in a private Linear issue.
- Applies approved roles promptly
- Keeps privileged requests in a private workflow
- Reduces outstanding access administration
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and GitHub to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that assigns the specified existing organization role when an authorized private access issue becomes approved.
- 3Select the private team issue properties updated trigger and choose a secure channel for run reports.
- 4Test with an approved member and a low-risk organization role.
Questions about this workflow
