Keep repository access aligned with infrastructure plans
Outline records why a repository needs a secret. Notis handles the repetitive access update on schedule.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add repo to org secret with selected access
Adds a repository to an existing organization-level github actions secret that is configured for 'selected' repository access.
Why this helps
Infrastructure changes require several small permission updates that are easy to miss during a larger project.
- Reduces infrastructure follow-up tasks
- Keeps secret access aligned with approved plans
- Creates a clear run history for sensitive changes
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: review approved Outline infrastructure items and add only the named repositories to the specified existing organization Actions secret, then report every change.
- 4Pick a weekly Notis cron trigger and choose a reporting channel.
- 5Test with one low-risk repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does the secret need to exist already?
Yes. This workflow adds a repository to an existing organization-level secret configured for selected access.
Can the workflow be limited to approved items?

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