Pair branch changes with Appdrag context

A branch update or protection change can prompt a quick context lookup, giving your team more information for the next decision.

Trigger

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.

Action

Visual SQL SELECT

Tool to execute a Visual SELECT Cloud Backend function. Use when you need to read rows from a database table using a visual SQL function configured in AppDrag.

Why this helps

Branch changes can affect delivery expectations, but related operational context may sit in a separate database.

  • Retrieve relevant database context when a branch changes.
  • Surface potential delivery impacts sooner.
  • Reduce manual cross-tool searches.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Appdrag once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a new automation and give it a clear name.
  • 3Tell Notis to query your Appdrag Visual SQL SELECT function when the monitored branch changes and summarize related records.
  • 4Pick the Branch Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real branch change.
