Confirm GitHub Stars for Mintlify Documentation Campaigns
A quick confirmation keeps launch follow-up from becoming a vague mental note.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check if repo starred by auth user
Use to determine if the authenticated user has starred a specific github repository, which is confirmed by an http 204 status (resulting in an empty dictionary in the response data); the action fails (e.g., http 404) if the repository is not starred or does not exist.
Why this helps
Small community and launch tasks are easy to forget after publishing documentation.
- Closes a simple launch follow-up loop.
- Makes campaign housekeeping visible.
- Avoids repeated manual profile checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Mintlify and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to check whether the GitHub repositories mentioned in the Mintlify launch payload are starred and report any missing stars.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and a reporting channel.
- 5Test with one repository from a recent campaign.
Questions about this workflow
Can it star repositories automatically?
This workflow only checks star status; a separate instruction would be needed for starring.
Why use a schedule?
A recurring review catches launch follow-ups without requiring a separate reminder.

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