Keep Branch Activity Visible in Airtable
New branches create constantly, but you miss them because they're not in your project system. When a branch is created, Notis logs it in Airtable so you see what features developers are working on.
Trigger
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
Active development branches scatter across GitHub with no visibility in Airtable. You can't see what work is in progress without checking GitHub directly.
- See what features are in active development
- Improved visibility into team workload
- Correlate branches with Airtable tasks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Airtable to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new branch is created in my repository, log it in Airtable with the branch name, created by, creation date, and base branch.'
- 3Select 'New Branch Created' as the trigger.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by creating a test branch in GitHub.
Questions about this workflow
Will this log all branches or can I filter?
You can filter by prefix, e.g., 'only log branches starting with feature/ or bugfix/'.
What happens when a branch is deleted?
Notis doesn't auto-delete the record. You can mark it as archived or handle it manually.
Can I track branch protection changes?
No, only creation is tracked. Use a different automation for protection status.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Airtable. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Airtable actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create base

Create Field
Creates a new field within a specified table in an airtable base.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Create multiple records
Creates multiple new records in a specified airtable table.

Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Create table
Creates a new table within a specified existing airtable base, allowing definition of its name, description, and field structure.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Delete Comment
Deletes an existing comment from a specified record in an airtable table.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Delete multiple records
Deletes up to 10 specified records from a table within an airtable base.
