</p>

<p>
  <strong>3. Fill out the GITHUB_USER, GITHUB_REPO, and GITHUB_TOKEN environment variables on Netlify</strong>
</p>

<p>

</h4>

<p>
  Great question! If you don&#8217;t have enough seats available under your Github organization to add a new outside collaborator, the API call will fail because Github won&#8217;t all the invite to be generated. Always ensure you have a some extra seats allotted (1-10 depending on sales volume) to ensure this doesn&#8217;t happen!

</h4>

<p>
  You can cancel your subscription at anytime and your repository privliges will be revoked and a final copy of the software for you to via before you lose access to all future updates. <strong>TLDR: You just lose access to updates, your software will still work</strong>
