Catch README changes that need a documentation review
A README change can affect onboarding and day-to-day team guidance. Have Notis open a Confluence review page with the changed file context so the right documentation follow-up is visible.
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
Create Page
Tool to create a new confluence page in a specified space. use when you need to create new documentation or content.
Why this helps
README edits can quietly change team instructions without prompting a review of related documentation.
- Surface README edits for team review
- Keep file change context in Confluence
- Reduce forgotten documentation follow-up
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: create a Confluence review page when the monitored README changes, summarizing available metadata and linking to the file.
- 4Pick the GitHub Repository README Changed trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real README change.
Questions about this workflow
Can the trigger watch a README in a particular directory or branch?
Yes. The trigger monitors a configurable directory and branch, tag, or commit. Pick the target in the trigger setup.
Can Notis show exactly what changed in the file?
The event includes metadata, blob SHAs, and a list of changed details as available. Ask Notis to summarize returned change information; a full line-by-line diff is not guaranteed by the event description.
Does this edit the README?
No. This workflow creates a Confluence review page. It does not write to GitHub.
