Start release tracking when a GitHub tag appears
A new tag can start your Appdrag release tracking flow while the commit reference is right at hand.
Trigger
New Repository Tag Created
Triggers when a new tag is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors the repository's tags and fires an event for each newly created tag. The payload includes the tag name, the commit SHA and URL it points to, and archive download URLs.
Action
Execute Cloud Backend function via POST
Tool to execute a Cloud Backend API function via POST on the default environment. Use when you need to call a function with POST parameters and optional APIKey.
Why this helps
Release markers can go untracked when a tag is created without a matching update to the operational record.
- Start release tracking from a newly created tag.
- Pass tag and commit details into Appdrag.
- Avoid a separate manual release record handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Appdrag once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to send each new tag and its available commit details to your Appdrag POST function for release tracking.
- 4Pick the New Repository Tag Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real repository tag.
Questions about this workflow
Does the trigger include the commit the tag points to?
Yes. The event includes the tag name, commit SHA and URL, and archive download URLs.
Is a tag the same as a published release?
No. This trigger detects a new tag. Use a release event when you need release-specific changes.
