Bring Docnify signing work into view after a release change
A release update can be your cue to review the documents that may need signing follow-up.
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
List Documents
Tool to list documents in the Docnify account.
Why this helps
Release changes and signing status can be tracked in separate places, making related documents harder to find during a handoff.
- Prompt a document review when release details change.
- List documents in Docnify without beginning a separate manual search.
- Use the returned documents to identify follow-up that needs a human decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Docnify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction, including how to identify documents related to the release.
- 4Pick GitHub Release State Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real release change and confirm the resulting list helps identify relevant documents.
Questions about this workflow
Can this determine which documents relate to a release?
Only if the relationship is available in the returned data or you supply a way to identify it, such as a naming convention.
Does listing documents change their status?
No. The list action retrieves documents for review.
