Make documentation changes visible
When the instructions change, the people relying on them should know.
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
Create Course Work Material
Tool to create course work material. use when adding resources or notes to a course.
Why this helps
README updates can alter onboarding or operating steps without reaching the collaborators who depend on them.
- Create a visible record of documentation changes.
- Include the repository, path, branch, and README link.
- Reduce repeated explanations of updated setup steps.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Classroom to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or describe the outcome to Notis conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction: When the monitored GitHub README changes, create Google Classroom course material summarizing the update and linking to the current README.
- 4Pick the README changed trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a small documentation edit.
Questions about this workflow
Can this monitor a README in a specific branch?
Yes. Configure the GitHub trigger for the repository location and branch that matter.
Does it copy the entire README?
