Expand Project Collaboration via Chat
When you decide someone should contribute to a GitHub project, mention it in Slack—Notis adds them as a collaborator.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Add project collaborator
Adds a specified github user as a collaborator to an existing organization project with a given permission level.
Why this helps
You're discussing a project in Slack and realize you need another person involved. Switching to GitHub to add them as a collaborator feels like extra friction.
- Bring collaborators into projects instantly via chat
- No context-switching to GitHub's project UI
- Keep project team decisions in Slack, actions in GitHub
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When we decide someone should collaborate on a GitHub project in Slack, add them with the permission level we mention.'
- 3Specify which Slack channels can trigger this.
- 4Choose your Notis notification channel.
- 5Test by discussing adding someone to a real project in Slack.
Questions about this workflow
What permission levels can I assign?
Typically pull (view), push (edit), or admin (full control). Specify in your Slack message which level this person should have.
What if the GitHub username isn't obvious?
Notis will ask for confirmation before adding—it won't add the wrong person.
Can I remove project collaborators the same way?
Yes. Say 'remove Jane from the X project' and Notis will revoke her access.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack 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.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
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.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
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.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
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.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
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.
