Sync GitHub team permissions with capacity tracking
Track team capacity in your spreadsheet. When capacity drops below 50%, Notis restricts write access to critical repos. When it climbs back up, access opens again. Your GitHub permissions stay aligned with reality.
Trigger
Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
Action
Add or update team repository permissions
Sets or updates a team's permission level for a repository within an organization; the team must be a member of the organization.
Why this helps
Capacity constraints mean teams should have fewer repositories to maintain at once, but nobody adjusts GitHub permissions when bandwidth tightens. Context gets spread too thin.
- GitHub permissions adapt to actual team capacity
- Automatic scope reduction when team is overloaded
- Reduce over-commitment and context loss
- Keep realistic workload expectations visible
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and GitHub to Notis
- 2Create an automation: 'When my team capacity metrics change, adjust our GitHub team permissions'
- 3Select 'Aggregate Metric Changed' as your trigger (e.g., SUM of available hours or AVG utilization)
- 4Define permission thresholds (e.g., if capacity is low, set 'read' access; if high, set 'write' access)
- 5Test by changing your capacity numbers and watching permissions update in GitHub
Questions about this workflow
How do I measure capacity in my spreadsheet?
Common approaches: hours available this week, utilization percentage, number of open issues per team member, or workload score. Pick what makes sense for your team.
Can I set different permissions for different repositories based on capacity?
Yes. You can define rules like: 'if capacity < 50%, read-only access to non-critical repos; write access to critical ones.'
Will this ever restrict critical access when it shouldn't?
You define the thresholds and rules. Critical repositories can be excluded or kept at higher access levels regardless of capacity.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Sheets to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Sheets triggers
GitHub actions
Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Cell Range Values Changed
Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.
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.
Conditional Format Rule Changed
Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Data Validation Rule Changed
Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Developer Metadata Changed
Triggers when developer metadata entries change (new/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
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.
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
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.
New Rows in Google Sheet
Simple polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets for new rows. Detects when new rows are added and returns the complete row data. Perfect for triggering any workflow based on new sheet entries.
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.
New Sheet Added in Google Spreadsheet
Polling trigger that detects when a new sheet is added to a Google Spreadsheet.
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.
Not just Google Sheets and GitHub. Any combination from 985+ integrations.
