Make new workflow run details easier to parse
Get dictionary definitions for unfamiliar words in new GitHub Actions workflow run details, ready for a quick review.
Trigger
New Workflow Run Created
Triggers when a new workflow run is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors the repository for any new workflow runs and fires an event for each one. Optional filters allow narrowing to a specific branch, actor, or event type.
Action
Get Word Definition V2
Tool to retrieve definitions, phonetics, origin, and meanings of a given word using freedictionaryapi v2. use when you need comprehensive lexical data for a specific word.
Why this helps
New automation runs may include status or event language that is unclear when you are trying to scan activity quickly.
- Understand unfamiliar terms in newly created runs
- Keep run context and definitions available together
- Spend less time searching while monitoring automation activity
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Dictionary API once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify unfamiliar terms in available details for each new workflow run and retrieve definitions.
- 4Choose the New Workflow Run Created trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real new workflow run.
Questions about this workflow
Can I narrow which runs trigger this?
The trigger supports optional filters for branch, actor, or event type. Choose the available trigger settings in Notis.
Does the lookup tell me whether a run succeeded?
The action retrieves definitions, not a run outcome analysis. Review GitHub's run state and conclusion for that information.

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.
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.
