Make team onboarding complete across tools
One onboarding record in Outline can keep organization membership and team role aligned without another admin chore.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add or update team membership for a user
Adds a github user to a team or updates their role (member or maintainer), inviting them to the organization if not already a member; idempotent, returning current details if no change is made.
Why this helps
New teammates are introduced in documentation but remain missing from the GitHub team they need.
- Reduces incomplete onboarding
- Keeps team roles explicit
- Saves founders a repetitive administration step
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 to create it in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction: when an approved Outline onboarding record names a GitHub organization team and role, add or update the person in that team and report the membership result.
- 4Choose the incoming webhook trigger and a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one new team member.
Questions about this workflow
Can it invite an outside person?
The GitHub action can invite a user to the organization if they are not already a member, subject to permissions.
What if the role is unclear?
Notis should report the ambiguity and wait for an explicit member or maintainer role.

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.
