Check Referenced CMS Items When the README Changes
Use README updates as a cue to retrieve the CMS item they document and review both together.
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
Get Content Item
Tool to fetch details of a content item by content id. use when you need item fields and metadata from agility cms.
Why this helps
Documentation and CMS entries can drift when README edits are reviewed without the referenced item in view.
- Retrieve CMS item details when documentation changes.
- Make it easier to spot discrepancies during review.
- Keep content documentation connected to the item it describes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Agility CMS once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the content item identified in the README change.
- 4Pick the GitHub Repository README Changed trigger for GitHub.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real README change.
Questions about this workflow
What information must the README provide?
It should include the Agility CMS content ID or another identifier your instruction can use. Without a reliable identifier, the workflow cannot know which item to fetch.
Can it edit the README or CMS item?
No. This workflow only retrieves an Agility CMS item for review.
