Keep configuration changes moving across tools
A repository change can update the solar resource detail it represents.
Trigger
Repository Content Changed
Triggers when the content of a file or directory in a GitHub repository changes. Monitors a specified path within a repository on a given branch or tag. For a single file, fires ``content_changed`` when the file is modified. For a directory, fires ``content_changed``, ``content_added``, or ``content_removed`` for modified, new, or deleted entries respectively. content.
Action
Patch PV Power Resource
Tool to partially update an existing PV power resource's technical specifications. Use when you need to modify specific resource configuration fields without replacing the entire resource.
Why this helps
Small configuration edits create hidden follow-up work across code and operational systems.
- Reduces duplicate configuration work
- Keeps selected resource details current
- Makes small changes easier to complete
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Solcast to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to patch the corresponding Solcast PV resource when the monitored repository configuration changes.
- 3Pick the Repository Content Changed trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one controlled configuration change.
Questions about this workflow
What does patch mean here?
It means updating selected technical specification fields on an existing Solcast PV resource without replacing the whole resource.
Should this be used for every repository file?
No. Monitor a specific configuration file or directory whose changes have a clear Solcast meaning.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Solcast. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Solcast actions
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.
Get Historic Radiation And Weather
Tool to get historical irradiance and weather estimated actuals for a requested location. Use when you need historical solar radiation and weather data from 2007-01-01 to 7 days ago, for up to 31 days at a time.
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.
Get PV Power Resource
Tool to retrieve a specific PV power resource by its unique identifier. Use when you need to fetch complete resource configuration including capacity, orientation, tracking, and derating parameters.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get Resources PV Power Sites
Tool to list PV power resources available to authenticated user. Use when you need to retrieve the list of PV power sites with optional filtering by entitlement level.
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.
Patch PV Power Resource
Tool to partially update an existing PV power resource's technical specifications. Use when you need to modify specific resource configuration fields without replacing the entire resource.
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 PV Power Resource
Tool to create a new PV power resource for Advanced PV Power forecasting. Use when you need to add a new solar installation site with comprehensive technical specifications including capacity, orientation, tracking parameters, and derating factors.
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.
Update PV Power Resource
Tool to update an existing PV power resource with comprehensive technical specifications for solar installation site modeling. Use when you need to modify resource configuration including capacity, orientation, tracking parameters, derating factors, and bifacial system settings.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
