Alert Your Team to README Changes
Your README is the first place people look for project information, but updates disappear silently. Notis sends an email alert through HubSpot whenever the README changes so your entire team knows about documentation updates immediately.
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 email
Creates a new email engagement record in hubspot, requiring portal-specific `properties` (e.g., `hs timestamp` as a utc millisecond timestamp), and that association `to id`s and `associationtypeid`s are valid and existing.
Why this helps
README updates introduce outdated information into the wild because stakeholders aren't notified when documentation changes.
- Everyone sees documentation changes instantly
- Reduce stale documentation in circulation
- Automatic team communication
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and HubSpot to Notis.
- 2Open Automations.
- 3Write: 'When the README in our main repository is updated, send an email through HubSpot to our team alerting them to the changes with a link to view them.'
- 4Select: GitHub > GitHub Repository README Changed.
- 5Confirm your repository and notification preferences.
Questions about this workflow
Will we get notified for every minor README edit?
By default, yes. You can ask Notis to skip formatting-only changes and only alert on content updates.
Can we see what changed in the email notification?
Yes. Notis can include a summary of changes or a link to the full diff on GitHub.
Should we notify only certain team members or the whole company?
Tell Notis which email list or contacts to notify based on roles or departments.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Hubspot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Hubspot actions
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.
Add asset association
Associates an existing asset ('form', 'object list', or 'external web url') with a specified hubspot marketing campaign.
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.
Add token to event template
Adds a new custom data token to an existing event template for a specified hubspot application, optionally populating a crm object property if objectpropertyname is provided.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Archive email
Archives the hubspot email specified by `emailid` by moving it to the recycling bin, making it inaccessible unless restored.
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.
Archive a batch of emails by ID
Archives multiple hubspot crm emails by id; ids must exist as archiving is irreversible.
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.
Archive a batch of quotes by id
Archives a batch of existing, non-archived quotes by their ids; this action is irreversible and useful for managing outdated or irrelevant quotes.
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.
Archive batch of companies by id
Archives a batch of companies by their unique ids; targeted companies must exist, not be previously archived, and this api operation is irreversible.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Archive batch of contacts by id
Archives a batch of existing contacts by their hubspot crm ids, rendering them inactive; this action is irreversible via the api and requires manual restoration or a separate unarchive endpoint.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Archive batch of deals by id
Archives a batch of existing deals by their unique hubspot ids, removing them from active views and reports (soft delete); archived deals may be restorable.
