+### Updating Connector Metadata
+
+When a new (or updated version) of a connector is ready to be published, our automations will check your branch for a few things:
+* Does the connector have an icon?
+* Does the connector have documentation and is it in the proper format?
+* Does the connector have a changelog entry for this version?
+
+If any of the above are failing, you won't be able to merge your PR or publish your connector.
+
+Connector icons should be square SVGs and be located in [this directory](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/tree/master/airbyte-config/init/src/main/resources/icons).
+
+Connector documentation and changelogs are markdown files which live either [here for sources](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/tree/master/docs/integrations/sources), or [here for destinations](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/tree/master/docs/integrations/destinations).
