Catch Authentication Problems Early
A quiet token check prevents a broken connection from surfacing during an urgent research handoff.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check a token
Checks if a github app or oauth access token is valid for the specified client id and retrieves its details, typically to verify its active status and grants.
Why this helps
Authentication failures appear at the worst moment and require distracting troubleshooting.
- Surfaces connection problems early
- Reduces urgent troubleshooting
- Protects continuity between research and code workflows
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect RedCircle API and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: Check the GitHub token used by the RedCircle research workflow and report whether it is valid, including any action needed if it is not.
- 4Choose a recurring trigger, select the channel for run reports, and test with one real connected account.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow renew an expired token?
No. It verifies token health and reports when reconnection is needed.
How often should it run?
Weekly is a reasonable default for a workflow that depends on reliable access.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link RedCircle API to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
RedCircle API triggers
GitHub actions
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.
RedCircle API and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
