Create release notes from deployment status
Keep a readable record of what changed and where it went live, without writing it from scratch.
Trigger
New Deployment Status Created
Triggers when a new deployment status is created for a specific deployment. Fires an event for each newly created deployment status on the monitored deployment. Deployment statuses represent state transitions such as pending, in_progress, success, failure, error, inactive, and queued. The payload includes the status state, creator, environment, description, timestamps, and relevant URLs.
Action
Create Document
Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.
Why this helps
Deployment details are scattered across commits, environments, and status messages.
- Makes releases easier to communicate
- Preserves environment history
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and DocRaptor once.
- 2Create a new Notis automation.
- 3Use one prompt to create a release-note PDF from each deployment status update.
- 4Select New Deployment Status Created and choose a reporting channel.
- 5Publish a test deployment status.
Questions about this workflow
Can this focus on successful releases?
Yes. Ask Notis to create the document only for the outcomes you care about.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to DocRaptor. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
DocRaptor 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.
Create Async Document
Tool to create documents asynchronously from HTML content. Use when generating PDF, XLS, or XLSX documents and you need to poll for completion status or use a callback URL for notification.
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.

New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Create Document from Referrer
Tool to convert webpages into documents using referrer-based authentication without an API key. Use when you need to generate PDFs or Excel files from registered domains without explicit API credentials.
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.
Create Hosted Async Document
Tool to create a hosted document asynchronously. Use when you need to generate a PDF, XLS, or XLSX document and track its completion status via callback_url or the status API.
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.
Download Async Document
Tool to download a completed asynchronous document using the download URL from status response. Use when you have a download_id and need to retrieve the generated document file.
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.
Get Async Document Status
Tool to check the status of an asynchronously created document. Use when monitoring progress of async documents by polling for completion status.
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.
List Documents (JSON)
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of previously created documents with metadata in JSON format. Use when you need to see document creation history or query past documents.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
List Documents (XML)
Tool to retrieve a paginated list of previously created documents with metadata in XML format. Use when you need to see document creation history or query past documents in XML format.
