Automate GitHub Project Permissions from Notion Changes
Team responsibilities change in Notion. Notis updates their GitHub project permissions instantly, ensuring the right teams see the right projects.
Trigger
Page Properties Updated
Triggers when properties of a Notion page are updated. Customer optionally scopes with at most one of: - data_source_id: any row in this data source - page_id: this specific page - parent_page_id: any page whose immediate parent is this page With none set, fires for any property change in the workspace the integration has access to. Adding a column to a data source fires this trigger once per existing row. Customers can branch on `data.updated_properties` (array of property IDs) to filter downstream.
Action
Add or update team project permissions
Grants or updates a team's permissions ('read', 'write', or 'admin') for a specific project, which must exist within the specified organization and be linked to it.
Why this helps
Project ownership changes, but GitHub project permissions remain stale. Wrong teams see projects they're not working on, or new owners lack visibility into projects that are now their responsibility.
- Keep project visibility aligned with team assignments
- Reduce permission-related blockers
- Automate permission updates on team changes
- Ensure team leaders see their projects
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and GitHub integrations.
- 2Identify your Notion team or project database with ownership/responsibility properties.
- 3Tell Notis: 'When team assignments change in Notion, update their permissions on the matching GitHub projects.'
- 4Specify which GitHub projects to update.
- 5Test by reassigning a team to a project in Notion.
Questions about this workflow
Can a team have read access to some projects and write access to others?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Engineering team gets write on backend projects, read on frontend.'
What permission levels are available?
Read, write, and admin. Notis applies whatever makes sense for the role.
Does this override existing GitHub project permissions?
You control it: full sync, add-only, or preserve other permissions.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers

All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
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 Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
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.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
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 Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
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.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
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.
