Grant Repository Secret Access from Telegram
You create a new repo and need it to access org secrets. Instead of navigating GitHub org settings, you send a Telegram message and Notis adds it. The repo has access immediately.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
Add selected repository to an organization secret
Adds a repository to an organization secret's access list when the secret's visibility is 'selected'; this operation is idempotent.
Why this helps
Setting up secret access for new repos requires GitHub org admin navigation. Neurodivergent founders need simpler ways to grant access without context-switching.
- Add repos to org secrets from Telegram without UI navigation
- New repos get secret access instantly without admin hassle
- Prevents secrets from being forgotten during repo setup
- Reduces setup steps for new projects
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When I send a Telegram message mentioning a repository name and an organization secret, add that repo to the secret's access list.'
- 3Select Telegram (New Message) as the trigger.
- 4Test by sending a message like 'Add new-repo to DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN' and verify in GitHub org settings.
Questions about this workflow
Can I add multiple repos to one secret at once?
Yes—list them in your Telegram message: 'Add frontend, backend, and docs to DEPLOYMENT_TOKEN' and Notis adds all of them.
What if the repo or secret doesn't exist?
Notis will let you know in Telegram and ask you to create it first.
Can I remove repos from secret access?
Yes—ask Notis in Telegram to remove a repo from a secret, or do it manually in GitHub org settings.

New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
New Channel Post
Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.
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.
Callback Query Received
Triggered when a user taps an inline keyboard button attached to one of your bot's messages.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Message Edited
Triggered when a message in a chat your bot can see is edited by its sender.
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 Chat Member
Triggered when a new member joins a group or supergroup the bot belongs to, including when the bot itself is added.
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.
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.
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.
