Keep deployment configuration access intentional
Shared variables are useful until access becomes unclear. Turn deployment context into a precise, reviewable GitHub permission action.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add selected repository to an organization variable
Grants a repository access to an organization-level github actions variable, if that variable's visibility is set to 'selected repositories'.
Why this helps
Repositories can be blocked by missing configuration access, or exposed through overly broad access.
- Reduces deployment setup friction
- Keeps access scoped to named repositories
- Makes configuration decisions easier to review
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Rosette text analytics and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an incoming automation in the portal or ask Notis to process approved variable-access requests.
- 3Tell Notis: Extract the organization variable and repository from the deployment text, then grant access only to the explicitly approved repository.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger, set the run-report channel, and test with one staging repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change variable values?
No. It changes which selected repository can access an existing organization-level variable.
Can it handle several repositories?
Yes, when the incoming instruction clearly names each approved repository.

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.
Rosette text analytics and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
