Keep reviewed external contributions moving
Once a contribution passes your review, remove the waiting step without losing the approval boundary.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Approve a workflow run for a fork pull request
Approves a workflow run from a forked repository's pull request; call this when such a run requires manual approval due to workflow configuration.
Why this helps
Fork pull requests can stall while founders remember to approve a workflow run after reviewing it.
- Reduces review-to-run delay
- Preserves an explicit approval event
- Keeps external contributions moving
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 in conversation.
- 3Tell Notis: When SureContact sends an approved review event for a trusted fork pull request, approve the corresponding GitHub workflow run and report the result.
- 4Pick an incoming webhook trigger, choose the channel for reports, and test with one reviewed pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this approve every fork automatically?
No. Only send a webhook after the contribution has passed your stated review process.
Can Notis report failed approvals?
Yes. Ask it to return the GitHub result and explain failures.

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.
