Keep your versioned document template aligned with Carbone
If your team maintains a Carbone-compatible template in a GitHub repository, a change to that file can trigger an upload to Carbone. Notis retrieves the current file and updates the intended template, reducing drift between source and renderer.
Trigger
Repository Content Changed
Triggers when the content of a file or directory in a GitHub repository changes. Monitors a specified path within a repository on a given branch or tag. For a single file, fires ``content_changed`` when the file is modified. For a directory, fires ``content_changed``, ``content_added``, or ``content_removed`` for modified, new, or deleted entries respectively. content.
Action
Upload a template
Tool to upload a template to the carbone server. use when you need to add or replace a template by providing its content.
Why this helps
Maintaining one template in GitHub and another in the document renderer invites version drift and uncertainty about which copy is current.
- Use the repository as the maintained source for a selected template file.
- Update the corresponding Carbone template after monitored file changes.
- Reduce manual re-uploading and uncertainty over template versions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Carbone to Notis once, and confirm the target Carbone template identifier and repository file are the intended pair.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or by asking Notis; instruct it to retrieve the changed file from GitHub and upload its content to replace the specified Carbone template.
- 3Choose the repository content changed trigger for the exact file path and branch, and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a reviewed template change and verify the Carbone template was updated as intended.
Questions about this workflow
Does the GitHub change event include the full file contents?
The trigger description guarantees change events and file metadata, not the complete file contents. The prompt should have Notis retrieve the current file from GitHub before using Carbone's upload-template action.
Can this publish every edit straight to Carbone?
The upload action can add or replace a template. Restrict the trigger to the intended path and branch, and use a reviewed source file because the workflow updates the specified Carbone template.

Generate Template ID
Tool to generate a unique template id for a new template. use when you need the template identifier before uploading.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get Carbone Server Status
Tool to retrieve the current status and health of the carbone server. use before generating reports to ensure the service is operational.
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.
Set Carbone API Version
Tool to set the carbone api version to be used for subsequent requests. use before rendering or managing templates to ensure correct version is applied.
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.
Upload a template
Tool to upload a template to the carbone server. use when you need to add or replace a template by providing its content.
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.
