Add Apollo contacts to a sequence from GitHub releases
Make release follow-through feel contained instead of like another inbox task.
Trigger
GitHub Release State Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub release (identified by tag name) changes. Monitors the release title, body/notes, draft flag, prerelease flag, published timestamp, target branch/commit, and the set of attached assets. The payload includes the full current release details, a list of which fields changed, and the previous values for comparison.
Action
Add Contacts to Sequence
Adds contacts to a specified apollo email sequence by initiating an asynchronous background job and returning its details.
Why this helps
After publishing a release, it is easy to lose the small but important task of telling interested people.
- Connects release updates to a defined outreach path
- Reduces post-launch memory burden
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Apollo to Notis once.
- 2Ask Notis to create this automation in plain language or open Automations -> New Automation.
- 3Describe which release updates should add approved contacts to an Apollo sequence.
- 4Choose GitHub Release State Changed and a reporting channel.
- 5Test it with a release update and review the run report.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis choose the sequence from my instruction?
Yes. Describe the intended sequence in the automation prompt.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Apollo. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Apollo 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 Contacts to Sequence
Adds contacts to a specified apollo email sequence by initiating an asynchronous background job and returning its details.
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.
Bulk organization enrichment
Enriches data for up to 10 organizations simultaneously by providing a list of their base company domains (e.g., 'apollo.io', not 'www.apollo.io').
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Bulk people enrichment
Use to enrich multiple person profiles simultaneously with comprehensive data from apollo's database.
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.
Bulk update account stage
Bulk updates the stage for specified existing apollo.io accounts, moving them to a valid new account stage.
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.
Create an Apollo account
Creates a new account in apollo.io; a new record is created even if a similar account exists, and provided `owner id` or `account stage id` must be valid existing ids.
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.
Create Apollo contact
Creates a new contact in apollo.io; use `account id` to link to an organization and `contact stage id` for sales stage, noting that apollo does not perform automatic deduplication.
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.
Create Apollo deal
Creates a new sales opportunity (deal) in apollo.io; all provided ids (`owner id`, `account id`, `opportunity stage id`) must be valid existing apollo identifiers.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Create Apollo Task
Creates a distinct apollo.io task for each contact id in contact ids, assigning them to user id; this action is not for free plan users and repeated calls create duplicate tasks.
