When your team decides who should lead a GitHub project, just say it in Slack—Notis sets permissions instantly.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
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
You discuss which team should have access to a project in Slack, but then have to go to GitHub and manually navigate the project settings and permissions. Easy to get wrong or forget.
- Project permissions are set in seconds via chat
- Fewer manual configuration errors
- Your project teams stay in sync with real organizational decisions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When we discuss giving a team access to a GitHub project in Slack, set their permissions with the level we specify (read, write, or admin).'
- 3Specify which Slack channel can trigger this.
- 4Choose your Notis notification channel.
- 5Test by discussing project team permissions in Slack.
Questions about this workflow
Which permission levels can I set?
Read (view only), write (manage tasks), or admin (control project and access). Mention the level in your Slack message.
Does the team need to exist first?
Yes. This automation updates permissions for existing teams. The project also needs to exist in your GitHub organization.
Can I remove a team from a project?
Yes. Say 'remove team X from project Y' in Slack, and Notis will revoke their access.

Slack triggers
GitHub actions

Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
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.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
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.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
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.
Reaction Removed Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_REMOVED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message.
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 Bot Message Received Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_CHANNEL_MESSAGE_RECEIVED` with `is_bot_message=true` instead. Triggered when a new bot message is posted to a Slack channel.
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.
