Create a record when a new branch appears

Make branch creation easier to track. Ask Notis for a simple record using only the branch information available in the event.

Trigger

New Branch Created

Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.

Action

Generate documents from template

Tool to generate document(s) from a template by merging JSON data or uploading a data file. Use when you need to programmatically produce one or more documents and receive metadata including a download URL.

Why this helps

New branches can appear without a shared note about why they were created or what work they support.

  • Create a record for new branches as they appear.
  • Keep branch activity visible in a document.
  • Reduce manual logging of branch creation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Docugenerate once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, describe the branch record to generate from available event details.
  • 4Pick New Branch Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real new branch and review the document for useful details.

Questions about this workflow

Will the document know what the branch is for?

The event detects newly created branches but does not promise a purpose or task description. Include that context in the branch name or supply it separately if you want it in the document.

Will this also run when branches are deleted?

No. The listed event detects new branches, and deleted branches do not fire it.
