Turn GitHub release notes into Instagram launch content
Ship the release, then let Notis prepare the announcement.
Trigger
GitHub Release State Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub release (identified by tag name) changes.

The payload includes the full current release details, a list of which fields changed, and the previous values for comparison.
Action

Why this helps
Founders often finish the product launch but forget to communicate it while switching between GitHub and social media.
- Keeps every meaningful release visible
- Turns existing release notes into usable copy
- Creates a reviewable draft without extra planning
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Instagram to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations -> New Automation, or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Use this instruction: When a GitHub release is published or updated, turn its notes into a concise Instagram post draft.
- 4Pick the GitHub release trigger and choose where Notis should report runs, then test with one release.
Questions about this workflow
Does this publish immediately?
No. It creates a draft media container so you can review it before publishing.
Can the draft mention the release details?
