Keep documented domains aligned with monitoring
Documentation changes can reveal product surfaces that deserve a quick certificate-monitoring check.
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
List Monitored Domains
Tool to list all monitored domains. use when you need to audit or review the domains currently monitored by cert spotter.
Why this helps
README updates are often treated as low risk even when they introduce or rename public domains.
- Connects documentation and operations
- Surfaces newly documented domains
- Reduces stale domain inventories
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Sslmate cert spotter api to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When the watched GitHub README changes, review the current README context, list CertSpotter monitored domains, and report whether documented public domains may need coverage review.
- 4Choose the README changed trigger, select the run-report channel, and test with one real README change.
Questions about this workflow
Does it edit the README?
No. It provides a monitoring review prompt based on the documentation change.
Why monitor documentation changes?
Public domain references in documentation can reveal changes before deployment work is formally tracked.

GitHub triggers
Sslmate cert spotter api actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get CertSpotter Event
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific certspotter event. use when you need to inspect event metadata after confirming an event id.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List Monitored Domains
Tool to list all monitored domains. use when you need to audit or review the domains currently monitored by cert spotter.
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.
Retrieve Webhook Settings
Tool to retrieve webhook settings. use when you need to view the currently configured cert spotter webhook.
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.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
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.
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.
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.
