Document Automation Before It Becomes Tribal Knowledge
Find the right documentation topics while the workflow is still fresh.
Trigger
New GitHub Actions Workflow Added
Triggers when a new GitHub Actions workflow is added to a repository. Monitors a repository's GitHub Actions workflows and fires an event for each newly added workflow. The payload includes the workflow's name, file path, state, creation and update timestamps, and URLs for the API, web interface, and status badge.
Action
Read wiki structure
Get a list of documentation topics for a GitHub repository. Args: repoName: GitHub repository in owner/repo format (e.g. "facebook/react")
Why this helps
New automation can become fragile tribal knowledge when nobody records how or why it works.
- Identifies relevant existing documentation topics
- Surfaces missing operational guidance
- Makes future handoff easier
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Devin MCP to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction: after a new workflow is added, read the repository wiki structure and list the topics that should explain its purpose, inputs, failures, and maintenance.
- 4Pick the New GitHub Actions Workflow Added trigger and a channel for reports.
- 5Test it with one newly added workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Will it write the documentation?
No. It maps the documentation work so you can assign or complete it intentionally.
Can it focus on deployment workflows?
Yes. Scope the GitHub trigger or mention deployment workflows in the instruction.

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.
