Keep API Changes Documented and Synchronized
API changes are scattered between Monday task comments and Gist notes. Notis fetches all Gist comments about API changes when your task is updated, keeping documentation in sync with development.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List Gist Comments
Tool to list comments on a gist. Use after confirming the gist_id to retrieve comments for a specific gist. Example: 'List comments for gist abc123'.
Why this helps
You update an API in Monday but forget to check Gist comments for related change notes, missing important documentation or breaking dependent code.
- API changes stay documented
- Never miss dependent code impacts
- Keep changelog and development in sync
- Clearer API versioning history
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gist and Monday to Notis in the portal
- 2Create an automation titled 'API Changelog Tracking'
- 3In the Prompt, write: 'When a Monday task about API changes or updates is modified, fetch the associated Gist and list all comments that document breaking changes, deprecations, or new features'
- 4Set Trigger to webhook and choose your notification channel
- 5Test by updating a Monday API task that references a Gist with change notes in comments
Questions about this workflow
How does it identify API-related tasks?
Look for tasks with 'API' in the title, labeled 'backend' or 'integration', or associated with your API board. You can customize this in the prompt.
Can it alert dependent services about breaking changes?
Yes. Tell Notis to extract breaking change information from Gist comments and notify teams that depend on the API.
What if comment threads get long?
Notis summarizes comments and highlights relevant ones, so you see change notes without reading a hundred-message thread.
