Auto-Approve GitHub Workflows on Task Completion
Waiting for approval to ship code shouldn't require manual GitHub checks. When your Salesforce task says 'done,' Notis approves the waiting workflow automatically. Ship faster, approve less.
Trigger
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.
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
Developers get blocked waiting for approval on completed work, or approvals get forgotten and features ship late.
- Code approvals happen instantly when work is verified in Salesforce
- Removes the approval approval as a separate step
- Developers ship faster without waiting for manual GitHub checks
- Eliminates forgotten approvals that delay releases
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Salesforce and GitHub to Notis
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a task is marked complete in Salesforce, approve the corresponding GitHub workflow run'
- 3Link Salesforce task names or IDs to specific GitHub workflows (or let Notis infer the connection)
- 4Choose where to get notifications
- 5Test by marking a task complete in Salesforce with a waiting workflow run in GitHub and verify it auto-approves
Questions about this workflow
What if there's no matching workflow run waiting?
Notis will not error—it will check and find no pending approval needed. You can refine the automation to log this if you want to track mismatches.
Can this work with multiple workflows?
Yes. Set it up for each workflow type or create a general automation that handles all task-to-workflow mappings.
What if the person who needs to approve isn't the one who completed the task?
This automation uses the GitHub app's credentials, so approvals happen on behalf of the app, not an individual user.

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.
