Document new Git references automatically
Keep track of new references that match a prefix you monitor. Ask Notis to create a record from the event details it receives.
Trigger
New Git Reference Created
Triggers when a new Git reference (branch or tag) matching a specified prefix is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created branch or tag whose name matches the configured prefix. Use ``ref_prefix`` to control what is monitored: - ``heads/`` to watch all branches - ``heads/feature/`` to watch only feature branches - ``tags/`` to watch all tags - ``tags/v`` to watch tags starting with 'v' The payload includes the full reference name, node ID, the SHA and type of the Git object the reference points to, and the reference API URL.
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
A new branch or tag can mark meaningful work, yet the context is easy to miss in a busy repository.
- Capture matching branch or tag creation in a document.
- Keep reference activity in a consistent format.
- Reduce manual tracking for selected references.
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 reference record to generate from the available event details.
- 4Pick New Git Reference Created as the trigger, set the supported prefix, and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real matching reference and confirm the generated document is useful.
Questions about this workflow
Can this watch branches and tags?
Yes. The event covers newly created branch or tag references and uses a configurable prefix such as heads/ for branches.
Does this trigger include reference deletions?
The listed event detects newly created references; it does not describe deletion events.

Tool to update a document's metadata. Use when renaming an existing document after confirming the document ID.
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.
Get or list templates
Tool to retrieve or list existing templates. Use when needing template IDs and metadata before making updates or generating documents.
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.
Update Template
Tool to update a template’s file and settings. Use after confirming the template ID and desired inputs.
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.
