Notis

Make every GitHub release easier to hand off

A published release can trigger a Carbone document from your existing template. Notis carries the release details into a repeatable brief, so you spend less time assembling launch notes by hand.

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

Generate Carbone Report

Tool to generate a carbone report from a template and json data. use when you need to render documents in various formats.

Why this helps

Release information is already in GitHub, but copying notes into a separate document creates one more manual handoff and another chance to miss a detail.

  • Start a release document from the GitHub release event, including its title, notes, tag, and published details.
  • Use a Carbone template to keep recurring release briefs consistent.
  • Reduce the copy-and-paste step between shipping in GitHub and sharing a release summary.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Carbone to Notis once, and prepare a Carbone template for your release brief.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally; describe that a published GitHub release should produce a brief from its available release details.
  • 3Choose the GitHub release state-changed trigger for the release you want to monitor, select a channel for run reports, and create the automation.
  • 4Test with a real published release and review the generated document for accurate notes and tag details.

Questions about this workflow

Does every edit to a release create a brief?

The trigger monitors changes to a specified release, including its title, notes, draft and prerelease flags, publication time, target, and assets. In your instruction, have Notis proceed only when the release is published and the relevant publication condition is met.

Do I need a Carbone template?

Yes. Generate Carbone Report renders a document from a template and JSON data, so prepare the brief template before enabling this workflow.
