Unblock tools that depend on GitHub App access
Make an activated project usable by granting the integration access it needs at the right moment.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
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.
Why this helps
A connected development tool can appear broken simply because the new repository was never added to its GitHub App installation.
- Reduces integration setup delays
- Keeps app access intentional
- Avoids repetitive repository administration
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect SureContact and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis: When SureContact reports a technical project is activated, add its GitHub repository to the approved App installation and report any access failure.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger, select the reporting channel, and test with one activated project.
Questions about this workflow
Does this install the GitHub App?
No. The App must already be installed; this grants the repository access within that installation.
Can only approved repositories be added?
Yes. State the approval rule and send only qualifying events.

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