Keep AI agent access intentional
Document the approval in Outline and apply the exact repository access change when it is ready.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
AI tooling access is either delayed by manual admin work or granted without a clear record of why.
- Creates a traceable access decision
- Reduces admin delay for approved agents
- Supports least-privilege repository access
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outline and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction: when an approved Outline agent-access request arrives, add only the specified repository to the named GitHub app installation and report the result.
- 4Choose the incoming webhook trigger and a secure reporting channel.
- 5Test with one approved repository.
Questions about this workflow
Can this grant an app access to every repository?
No. The instruction should restrict the action to the explicitly approved repository.
What if the app installation is missing?
Notis should report the failed prerequisite rather than guessing an installation.

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.
