Make release signals easier to scan
Keep release moments visible without adding another manual checklist.
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
Query Gender by Full Name
Tool to determine gender by splitting a full name. Use when you have an exact full name string and want to infer gender. Slightly less reliable for rare or ambiguous names.
Why this helps
Release activity is easy to miss when founders are switching between product, customer, and engineering responsibilities.
- Makes release activity more visible
- Reduces manual inspection of tag history
- Adds people context to technical milestones
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Gender api to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it by message.
- 3Tell Notis: “When a new GitHub repository tag is created, query Gender api by the tag creator's full name and report the result with the tag and repository links.”
- 4Select the new tag trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one real tag.
Questions about this workflow
Does this monitor release notes too?
This workflow responds to new tag creation; use a release-state trigger for release changes.
Can it be limited to version tags?
Yes. Configure the GitHub trigger with the appropriate tag scope where supported.

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.
Gender From First Name
Tool to determine the gender of a first name. Use when you need to identify gender based on a given name.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Query Gender by Full Name
Tool to determine gender by splitting a full name. Use when you have an exact full name string and want to infer gender. Slightly less reliable for rare or ambiguous names.
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.
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.
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.
