Create Release Barcodes Automatically
A new tag is already the source of truth. Turn it into a usable barcode without another manual generation step.
Trigger
New Repository Tag Created

Action

Why this helps
Small release-assets tasks pile up because they are too minor to prioritize but still block handoffs.
- Creates a usable image at release time
- Reduces repetitive asset preparation
- Supports physical and digital handoffs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Api ninjas to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: When a new release tag is created, generate a PNG or SVG barcode containing the tag name and the release download URL, then report the generated asset details.
- 4Choose the new tag trigger, select a channel for run reports, and test with one real tag.
Questions about this workflow
Can the barcode contain a URL?
Yes. Ask Notis to encode the release URL or another text value.
