Keep branch documentation current as the branch changes
Branch heads and protection rules can change without the corresponding documentation being updated. Have Notis record branch changes in Confluence metadata to keep release and maintenance notes current.
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
Create Page Property
Tool to create a property on a confluence page. use when you need to add custom metadata or settings to a page.
Why this helps
Branch documentation becomes unreliable when commits or protection settings change without a visible update.
- Keep branch records aligned with GitHub
- Surface protection changes in documentation
- Reduce manual updates to release notes
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Confluence once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: update the specified Confluence page property when the monitored branch changes, recording available commit and protection details.
- 4Pick the Branch Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real change to the monitored branch.
Questions about this workflow
What kinds of branch changes are monitored?
The event monitors new commits, protection toggles, and changes to protection settings such as required status checks and enforcement level.
Does it provide the full commit diff?
The description guarantees that a branch head commit SHA change is detected, but does not promise a full diff. Ask Notis to record returned branch details and link to GitHub.
What does the Confluence action change?
Create Page Property attaches metadata to a Confluence page. Specify the page and the property information to maintain.
