Keep repository contact information trustworthy
A documentation change can quietly introduce a broken contact path; Notis checks it as part of the update.
Trigger
GitHub Repository README Changed
Triggers when the README file in a specific repository directory changes. Monitors the README in a configurable directory and branch/tag/commit. The payload includes the current README metadata (filename, path, SHA, size, URLs), the previous and current git blob SHAs, and a list of which tracked fields changed.
Action
Email Validation
Tool to validate whether an email address is real and deliverable. use after collecting an email address to confirm deliverability.
Why this helps
README contact details are easy to publish and forget, creating avoidable support dead ends.
- Improves documentation reliability
- Prevents dead support links
- Removes a manual publishing check
