Auto-Onboard Subscribers to Private Repos
The moment a customer's subscription activates, automatically add them as a collaborator to the private GitHub repos they paid for. No manual invites, no delayed access, no cognitive burden of remembering to grant permissions.
Trigger
Subscription Added Trigger
Triggered when a subscription is added in Stripe
Action
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.
Why this helps
Customer subscribes, you forget (or delay) adding them to the GitHub repo, they email asking for access, context-switch happens, frustration builds.
- Subscribers get immediate access to paid repositories—no delays
- Eliminates manual invitation overhead and follow-up emails
- Reduces customer friction: they subscribe and instantly see their resources
- One less admin task your brain needs to track
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Stripe and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a subscription is added, grant the customer collaborator access to [repository-name] with pull permission'.
- 3Set up Slack notifications so you see each onboarding event.
- 4Test by creating a test subscription in Stripe and confirming the subscriber is added as a collaborator in GitHub.
Questions about this workflow
What permission level should I grant?
That's your choice. Notis supports pull (read-only), push (edit), or admin (full control). Tell Notis which level matches your subscription tier.
Can different subscription tiers get different repo access?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Pro tier gets push on [repo1], Enterprise gets admin on [repo1] and [repo2]'. Notis routes based on subscription type.
What happens when the subscription ends?
You can set a companion automation: 'when subscription is deleted, remove collaborator access'. Notis can handle both add and remove.
