Know what a README change changes in the market
Your README is a product surface, so its context deserves a quick reality check.
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
Run Actor Sync
Tool to run a specific actor synchronously with input and return its output record. use when immediate actor results are needed; runs may timeout after 300 seconds.
Why this helps
Founders update public documentation without time to verify how the new positioning compares with the market.
- Adds an external perspective to documentation edits
- Improves public positioning awareness
- Reduces manual comparison work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create the automation with a plain-language instruction to research the changed README's positioning, discoverability, and comparable documentation using an Apify Actor.
- 3Pick GitHub Repository README Changed as the trigger.
- 4Choose where reports should arrive and test with one documentation update.
Questions about this workflow
Is this only for marketing copy?
No. It can review technical clarity, onboarding friction, and ecosystem discoverability too.
Why synchronous execution?
It returns the initial result immediately when you want feedback close to the documentation change.

Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Get Actor Details
