Keep onboarding guidance from drifting
When the README changes, your onboarding email should not quietly become outdated. Connect the two so important setup guidance stays coherent.
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
Edit Template
Tool to update an existing Postmark template by its ID. Use when you need to modify a template's name, subject, HTML or text body, alias, type, layout, or active status.
Why this helps
Founders often update documentation but forget the matching onboarding or support email copy.
- Reduces inconsistent setup instructions.
- Cuts duplicate documentation maintenance.
- Makes onboarding more dependable.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Postmark to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to update the designated Postmark onboarding template when the relevant README changes.
- 3Pick the GitHub README changed trigger, choose the reporting channel, and test with one README edit.
Questions about this workflow
Can it update only a specific README section?
Yes. Describe the section and the corresponding template content in the instruction.
Can it notify me for review instead of editing immediately?
Yes. Use an email action for review or create a separate approval-oriented workflow.
