Notis

Update team repository permissions after a private approval

Let a sensitive access decision take effect from the private approval thread, with Notis carrying the exact repository permission into GitHub.

Trigger

Private Team Comment Created

Fires when a new comment is posted on an issue in a private Linear team (polled with the connected user's token).

Action

Add or update team repository permissions

Sets or updates a team's permission level for a repository within an organization; the team must be a member of the organization.

Why this helps

Sensitive permission approvals can be documented in a private Linear issue but remain unapplied in GitHub.

  • Keeps sensitive approvals in a private workflow
  • Supports read, write, and admin permission levels
  • Reduces the chance of an approved access request being dropped

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and GitHub to Notis once.
  • 2Tell Notis which authorized private comments should update a named team's permission for a named repository.
  • 3Select the private team comment created trigger and choose a secure channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with a low-risk team and repository permission change.

Questions about this workflow

Which permission levels are supported?
