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 record
Creates a new record in a specified workiom list. this tool creates a record with basic field types like text, numbers, dates, and static list items. the record data should be provided as a json object where each key is a field id and the value matches the expected data type for that field.
Why this helps
Documentation updates can ship quietly and leave support, onboarding, or launch work out of sync.
- Creates documentation visibility
- Supports onboarding consistency
- Reduces stale-process risk
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Workiom to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use the instruction: When the monitored GitHub README changes, create a Workiom documentation record with the path, branch, change summary, and link.
- 4Select GitHub Repository README Changed, choose a report channel, and test with one README update.
Questions about this workflow
Can this monitor a README in a specific directory?
Yes. Configure the GitHub trigger for the relevant repository path and ref.
Can it summarize the change?
Yes. Ask Notis to summarize the changed content and preserve the source link.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Workiom. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Workiom actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create record
Creates a new record in a specified workiom list. this tool creates a record with basic field types like text, numbers, dates, and static list items. the record data should be provided as a json object where each key is a field id and the value matches the expected data type for that field.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get all lists
Get all lists from a workiom workspace. this action fetches all available lists in a workiom workspace. it's a fundamental tool that serves as a prerequisite for most other operations (like creating records, which require a list id). the action supports pagination and can optionally include field definitions for each list.
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.
Get records
Retrieves records from a specified list in workiom. this tool fetches records from a specified list with optional filtering, sorting, and pagination capabilities. the response includes the records along with summary information and total count.
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.
