Refresh a Scale AI ontology from README guidance
Keep written labeling guidance and project labels from drifting apart.
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
Set Project Ontology
Tool to set ontologies on a Scale AI project. Ontologies define the labels or classes that tasks will reference, and projects maintain complete history of ontology versions. Use when you need to configure or update the classification labels for a project.
Why this helps
Teams update instructions but forget the ontology that workers actually see.
- Connects guidance updates to label design
- Reduces conflicting instructions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Scale ai once through Notis.
- 2Create a new portal automation.
- 3Write an instruction to refresh the relevant Scale ontology when the annotation README changes, select GitHub Repository README Changed, choose reports, and test a documentation edit.
Questions about this workflow
Do I configure ontology fields in Notis?
No. Describe the ontology outcome in the prompt rather than mapping fields.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Scale ai. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Scale ai actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Studio Assignments
Tool to add project assignments to team members in Scale AI Studio. Use when you need to assign specific projects to team members by their email addresses. This action creates new assignments for the specified team members and projects.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add Task Tags
Tool to add tags to an existing task. Use when you need to tag or categorize tasks for organization and filtering. Automatically avoids duplicate tags.
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.
Create Batch
Tool to create a new batch within a project. Use when you need to group multiple tasks together for organizational and processing purposes.
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.
Create Document Transcription Task
Tool to create a document transcription task where workers transcribe and annotate information from single or multi-page documents. Use when you need to extract structured data from documents like invoices, forms, or screenshots.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Create Image Annotation Task
Tool to create an image annotation task where annotators label images with vector geometric shapes (box, polygon, line, point, cuboid, ellipse). Use when you need to annotate objects in images with bounding boxes, polygons, or other geometric annotations.
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.
Create Lidar Annotation Task
Tool to create a lidar annotation task where annotators mark objects with 3D cuboids in 3D space. Use when you need to annotate LIDAR frame sequences with 3D object detection.
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.
Create LiDAR Segmentation Task
Tool to create a LiDAR segmentation task where annotators assign semantic class labels to individual LiDAR points. Use when you need to annotate point cloud data with object classes such as vehicles, pedestrians, roads, buildings, etc. Either 'project' or 'batch' must be provided in the request.
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.
Create Named Entity Recognition Task
Tool to create a named entity recognition task for labelers to highlight text entity mentions. Use when you need to extract and label entities such as people, organizations, or locations from text.
