Keep sensitive branches limited to the right people
A clear push boundary protects focus as well as code.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add user access restrictions
Sets/replaces list of users allowed to push to a protected branch; usernames (e.g., `["user1"]`) must be a json array in request body (not schema parameters), an empty array `[]` removes all restrictions.
Why this helps
Sensitive branch access changes are easy to postpone when they require a manual GitHub setting update.
- Applies access decisions promptly
- Reduces accidental push exposure
- Creates a repeatable release safeguard
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Manus and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis: When Manus sends an approved sensitive-branch access list, replace the allowed GitHub push users for the specified protected branch with that list.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger, select a report channel, and test with a staging branch.
Questions about this workflow
What happens to the previous list?
GitHub replaces it with the approved list from the request.
Can an empty list be intentional?
Yes. An empty list removes all user restrictions, so use explicit approval rules.

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