Onboard New Org Member

A GitHub App built with Probot that will automatically add new members of an organization to a team as well as post an on-boarding issue for the member in a specified repository.

Features

• Adds user to a default team specified in the config file.
• Creates an on-boarding issue for the user using the specified markdown template in the specified repository contained in the config file.

Get Started

1. Configure the GitHub App
2. Create a repo named org-settings and in it a file .github/onboard-new-org-member.yml as described in the How it Works section to configure settings (and override defaults)
3. It will then add any members new to your organization to the specified team as well as create an on-boarding issue for the user.

How it Works

By default when a member accepts an Org invite, they will be added to a default team specified in the config file. Aside from that, an Issue will be created from a specified template in an on-boarding repository giving the new member action items to complete.

# Configuration for onboard-new-org-member

# Org to run the bot on (must be lowercase)

# Settings repo

# Name of team to add new members to (must be lowercase)
