Add Repository Collaborators from Telegram Channel Posts
You announce a new contributor in your Telegram channel. Notis reads that announcement and instantly adds them as a collaborator to your GitHub repo. They can start contributing immediately.
Trigger
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Adding collaborators manually to multiple repositories is error-prone and easily forgotten. Asynchronous teams need automated provisioning to avoid access bottlenecks.
- Collaborators gain instant repository access when announced
- No more forgotten or duplicated access requests
- Works at scale with multiple repositories and team members
- Reduces manual admin tasks that drain focus from actual work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When I post an announcement in the Telegram channel mentioning a GitHub username and repository, add that user as a collaborator with push access.'
- 3Select Telegram (New Channel Post) and choose where to receive run notifications.
- 4Test by posting an announcement like 'Adding @alice to the docs repo' and verify she appears in the collaborators list.
Questions about this workflow
Can I specify permission levels?
Yes—mention 'read', 'write', or 'maintain' in your post and Notis applies that permission level. Default is 'write'.
What if I want to add someone to multiple repos at once?
List the repos in your channel post: 'Adding @alice to docs, api, and frontend' and Notis adds them to all three.
Can this work for organization-owned repos?
Yes—this works perfectly for org repos and is especially useful when scaling team access.
