Create a record for every new repository tag
Keep tagged code milestones easy to document. Ask Notis to generate a record from the tag details GitHub provides.
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
Generate documents from template
Tool to generate document(s) from a template by merging JSON data or uploading a data file. Use when you need to programmatically produce one or more documents and receive metadata including a download URL.
Why this helps
Tags can mark important milestones, but the context behind them is easy to lose after the push.
- Capture new tag and commit details in a document.
- Create a consistent record of repository milestones.
- Reduce manual note taking when tagging releases.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Docugenerate once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, describe the tag record to generate from available tag and commit details.
- 4Pick New Repository Tag Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real new tag and confirm the generated document includes the details you need.
Questions about this workflow
Does the trigger include the commit the tag points to?
Yes. The event description includes the tag name and commit SHA and URL, along with archive download URLs.
Can this generate a full release note?
It can generate a document from available tag details, but the event does not promise release notes. Supply release context or choose a release event if that is the information you need.
