Auto-Add New Contacts to GitHub Teams
Forget manual team invites. When a new contact joins your Salesforce account, Notis adds them to your GitHub team in seconds. One less thing to remember, one less email to send.
Trigger
New Contact Trigger
Triggers when a new Contact is Created in Salesforce.
Action
Add or update team membership for a user
Adds a github user to a team or updates their role (member or maintainer), inviting them to the organization if not already a member; idempotent, returning current details if no change is made.
Why this helps
New team members don't get GitHub access on day one, causing delays and leaving them blocked on their first tasks.
- New contacts join GitHub teams automatically on creation
- Reduces onboarding friction and first-day blockers
- Keeps GitHub team membership in sync with Salesforce records
- Eliminates forgotten team invitations that pile up
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Salesforce and GitHub to Notis
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a new contact is created in Salesforce, add them to our [team-name] GitHub team'
- 3Specify which GitHub team to add them to (can map by department or contact type)
- 4Select your notification channel
- 5Test by creating a new contact in Salesforce and verify they receive a GitHub team invitation
Questions about this workflow
What if the contact already has GitHub access?
GitHub will recognize existing membership and the automation completes without error.
Can I add them to multiple teams based on their role?
Yes. Ask Notis to set up multiple automations or add them to a team based on contact department.
How do I handle contractors or external partners?
You can ask Notis to add conditions based on contact type—contractors might go to a different team than employees.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Salesforce to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Salesforce triggers
GitHub actions
Account Created or Updated
Triggers when an Account is created or updated in Salesforce. Uses LastModifiedDate high-watermark to capture both creations and updates.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Contact Updated
Triggers when an existing Salesforce Contact record is modified. Emits changed fields alongside relevant timestamps.
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.
Record Updated (Generic SObject)
Triggers when monitored fields change on any Salesforce SObject. You specify the SObject type and which field values should be returned in the payload. The trigger uses SystemModstamp to detect changes regardless of which specific field changed.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
New Contact Trigger
Triggers when a new Contact is Created in Salesforce.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
New Lead Trigger
Triggers when a new Lead is created in Salesforce.
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.
New or Updated Opportunity
Triggers when a Salesforce Opportunity is created or updated.
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.
Task Created or Completed
Triggers when a Task is created or when its status changes to Completed in Salesforce. Supports optional filtering by task Status or Subject.
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.
