Validate GitHub Tokens Automatically via Webhook
Your external system sends a webhook to Notis asking if your GitHub token is still valid. Notis checks instantly and reports back. You catch token issues before they break production.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Check a token
Checks if a github app or oauth access token is valid for the specified client id and retrieves its details, typically to verify its active status and grants.
Why this helps
Token expiration causes silent failures. Neurodivergent founders need automated validation to detect issues early without manual monitoring.
- Validate GitHub tokens without manual checking
- Catch expired tokens before they break workflows
- External systems can verify token status through Notis
- Reduces integration downtime from stale credentials
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation with the prompt: 'When you receive a webhook request, check if my GitHub token or app is valid and report the result back.'
- 3Select Notis Webhook as the trigger and copy your webhook URL.
- 4Configure your external system to POST to this URL when it needs to verify token health.
Questions about this workflow
How often should I check token health?
You can check as often as needed—daily, hourly, or whenever your external system triggers it.
What does a valid token response look like?
Notis returns the token status and details in the webhook response, including expiration time if available.
Can I automatically refresh an expired token?
If you're using OAuth, Notis can refresh it automatically. For personal access tokens, you'll need to regenerate them manually.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Telegram to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Telegram triggers
GitHub actions
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.
