Launch store builds from GitHub version tags

Tag the release once in GitHub and let Notis start the corresponding Codemagic build.

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

Start New Build

Tool to start a new build for an application with specified workflow and branch or tag. Use when you need to trigger a build programmatically. Either branch or tag parameter must be provided.

Why this helps

Version tags and store builds are easy to separate into two tasks, creating delays or wrong-branch builds.

  • Turns your existing tag convention into the release trigger
  • Reduces accidental builds from the wrong ref
  • Makes the store-build handoff repeatable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Codemagic in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation conversationally or from Automations in the portal.
  • 3Enter one instruction such as: “When a new v-prefixed tag appears, start the Codemagic store-release workflow for that tag.”
  • 4Choose New Repository Tag Created, pick your report channel, and test with a real release tag.

Questions about this workflow

Can the build use the new tag instead of a branch?

Yes. Codemagic can start a build with a tag, and Notis can use the tag from the GitHub event.
