Catch GitHub connection problems before store work stops
A quiet credential check can prevent a loud operational surprise.
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
Automation failures caused by expired or invalid credentials look like broken workflows until someone investigates them manually.
- Finds connection issues earlier
- Protects automation continuity
- Reduces emergency troubleshooting
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Shopify and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: On the first business day of each month, check whether the GitHub token used for Shopify automations is valid and report any issue.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule, select a channel for run reports, and test with the connected GitHub account.
Questions about this workflow
Does this reveal the token?
No. It checks token validity and retrieves status without exposing the credential value.
How often should I run it?
Monthly is a practical baseline, with a more frequent schedule if the workflow is business-critical.

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