Find related Contentful entries from a commit
Turn commit activity into a useful content lookup, with matching entries summarized in the run report.
Trigger
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Action
GraphQL Content API Query
Tool to execute a GraphQL query against a specified space and environment. Use when fetching Contentful content via GraphQL after obtaining or providing a valid token.
Why this helps
Content changes tied to code work can be hard to find when commit context and structured content are separated.
- Search Contentful using context already present in the commit.
- Keep content-related engineering work visible in reports.
- Spot when a commit has no matching entry to review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Contentful graphql once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis in plain language or using Automations, New Automation in the portal.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: use the commit details to query Contentful for related entries and summarize matches or report that none were found.
- 4Pick the Commit Event trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real commit and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
What if the commit does not include a content identifier?
Notis can only search using available commit details and the query's supported fields. Include a usable identifier or matching rule in your instruction if commit messages do not carry enough context.
Will the workflow modify matching entries?
No. The GraphQL query action retrieves content. It does not update or publish entries.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Contentful graphql. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Contentful graphql actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get CMA Token
Tool to retrieve a Contentful Management API (CMA) access token. Use when making CMA calls to ensure valid authorization.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
GraphQL Content API Persisted Query
Tool to execute a persisted GraphQL query via its SHA256 hash. Use after registering a query hash to run cached queries by hash. On first call include full query text; thereafter invoke with only hash and variables.
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
GraphQL Content API Query
Tool to execute a GraphQL query against a specified space and environment. Use when fetching Contentful content via GraphQL after obtaining or providing a valid token.
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.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
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.
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.
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.
