Update Zeplin styleguide text styles from README changes
Make design-system documentation actionable instead of another note to remember later.
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
Update Styleguide Text Style
Tool to update a text style in a Zeplin styleguide. Use when you need to modify typography settings of an existing text style after confirming the styleguide and text style IDs.
Why this helps
Type-scale decisions documented in code repositories can miss the styleguide update.
- Turns documentation into follow-through
- Keeps typography systems aligned
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect the GitHub and Zeplin integrations once.
- 2Create an automation in the Notis portal.
- 3Ask Notis to update the confirmed styleguide text style after an approved README type-scale change.
- 4Choose GitHub Repository README Changed and a reporting channel.
- 5Change a test documentation entry and verify the report.

GitHub triggers
Zeplin actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Start OAuth authorization (PKCE)

List Project Connected Components
Tool to list connected components in a Zeplin project. Use when you have the project_id and need to retrieve connected components in a specific project.
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.
List Project Colors
Tool to list colors in a Zeplin project. Use when you need to fetch defined color tokens at the project level after obtaining the project ID.
Branch Changed

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.
Update Project Color
Tool to update a color in a Zeplin project. Use when you need to modify RGBA channels or source ID of an existing color after confirming the project and color IDs.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get Zeplin Project by ID
Tool to get a Zeplin project by ID. Use when you need detailed info about a specific project after confirming its project_id.
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.
Invite Project Member
Tool to invite a user to a Zeplin project. Use when you need to add a member by email or username to a project after obtaining the project ID.
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.
List Project Text Styles
Tool to list text styles in a Zeplin project. Use when you need to fetch typography tokens defined at the project level after obtaining the project 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.
