Check air quality after documentation updates

A finished README update can mark a cleaner transition into your next work block.

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

Get City Air Quality

Tool to retrieve air quality data for a specific city. Use when you need current pollution and weather data by specifying city, state, and country.

Why this helps

Documentation work is often squeezed between coding tasks, leaving the transition afterward undefined and easy to derail.

  • Create a clear transition after documentation work
  • Reduce unfinished-task ambiguity
  • Use a milestone to prompt a reset
  • Keep repository maintenance connected to sustainable pacing

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Iqair airvisual once through the Notis portal.
  • 2Create the automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
  • 3Tell Notis: When the README in my monitored repository changes, retrieve current air quality for my city and send a short transition suggestion for the next work block.
  • 4Select GitHub Repository README Changed as the trigger and choose a reporting channel.
  • 5Test with one README update.

Questions about this workflow
