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.

Tool to execute a Cloud Backend API function via POST on the default environment. Use when you need to call a function with POST parameters and optional APIKey.
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.
Execute Function POST (Preprod Env)
Tool to execute a Cloud Backend API function via POST on the preprod environment. Use when you need to test a function in the preprod environment before releasing to production. Include apiKey if your function requires APIKey security.
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.
Execute Cloud Backend function via PUT (default)
