Read Word documents from GitHub run artifacts as text

A Word document in a workflow artifact can be easier to scan as plain text. Set Notis to convert it when the artifact arrives.

Trigger

New Artifact Added to Workflow Run

Triggers when a new artifact is uploaded to a specific GitHub Actions workflow run. Monitors a single workflow run for newly added artifacts such as build outputs, test results, or coverage reports. Each new artifact detected fires a separate event.

Action

Convert Word to Text

Tool to convert word documents to plain text. use when you have a .doc or .docx file (binary or url) and need its plain text representation.

Why this helps

Opening downloaded Word outputs interrupts the code review or release task you were already doing.

  • Make Word-based run outputs easier to scan
  • Reduce manual document opening and extraction
  • Keep attention on the workflow that produced the file

Setup

  • 1Connect GitHub and Conversion tools once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to convert the new artifact when it is a Word document and the action has a usable file id or URL.
  • 4Pick the New Artifact Added to Workflow Run trigger for the run to monitor.
  • 5Choose a report channel and test with one real Word artifact.
