Find repository documentation topics from project emails
Turn a project email into a reminder to check which documentation topics exist for the repository involved.
Trigger
Email Sent
Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.
Action
Read wiki structure
Get a list of documentation topics for a GitHub repository. Args: repoName: GitHub repository in owner/repo format (e.g. "facebook/react")
Why this helps
Follow-up research gets delayed when a project email leaves you unsure which documentation pages might answer the next question.
- See the available documentation topics for a specified repository.
- Use project emails to prompt a focused documentation review.
- Reduce the effort of figuring out where repository guidance lives.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Devin MCP once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to use each sent project email as context and retrieve the wiki structure for the repository you specify, noting topics related to the project.
- 4Pick Email Sent as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real project email and its repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does this retrieve full documentation pages?
No. This action returns the wiki structure, which lists documentation topics. Use the wiki contents action when you need the full contents.
Can it infer the correct repository from the email?
Only if the email or your instruction provides enough context. Specify the repository in owner/repo format to make the target clear.
