Share important README improvements
When your explanation gets better, let your audience know.
Trigger
GitHub Repository README Changed
Triggers when the README file in a specific repository directory changes. Monitors the README in a configurable directory and branch/tag/commit. The payload includes the current README metadata (filename, path, SHA, size, URLs), the previous and current git blob SHAs, and a list of which tracked fields changed.
Action
Create Media Container
Create a draft media container for photos/videos/reels before publishing.
Why this helps
Founders improve onboarding and positioning in documentation but rarely announce those improvements.
- Highlights clearer onboarding
- Makes documentation work visible
- Creates content from a meaningful change
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Instagram to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations -> New Automation or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Describe the outcome: When the repository README changes, create an Instagram draft summarizing the customer-facing improvement.
- 4Pick the README-changed trigger, choose the reporting channel, and test with one documentation update.
Questions about this workflow
Will every typo create a draft?
Tell Notis to act only when the README change materially improves onboarding, positioning, or setup.
Can it include the documentation link?
Yes. Include that request in the plain-language instruction.
