Keep protected branches aligned with the apps you trust
As your tooling changes, protected branches can quietly retain outdated app access. Let Notis review the signal and apply the intended restriction.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Security settings drift when founders add or replace deployment and review tools during busy product cycles.
- Reduces access drift
- Supports safer deployment workflows
- Turns security maintenance into a scheduled review
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect TikHub and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: Review current TikHub deployment and tooling signals, then update the specified protected branch so only the approved GitHub apps retain push access.
- 4Choose a monthly trigger and a channel for run reports, then test with one repository and branch.
Questions about this workflow
Can this remove app access?
Yes. The GitHub action replaces the protected branch app restriction list, so state the approved list clearly.
Should this run frequently?
Monthly or after a tooling change is usually appropriate for a governance review.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link TikHub to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

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