Review npm download trends after release updates

Use a release update as a cue to see whether adoption is moving in the expected direction.

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

Get NPM Package Download Counts Over Date Range

Tool to get download counts for an npm package over a specified date range. Use when you need historical daily download data.

Why this helps

Teams update release information but rarely pause to inspect whether users are adopting the package.

  • Keeps adoption visible
  • Builds a repeatable release review habit

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and npm to Notis once.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal.
  • 3Tell Notis to report historical daily downloads when a release changes.
  • 4Select release state changed and a report channel.
  • 5Test with one release update.

Questions about this workflow

Does it publish a release?

No. It only retrieves npm download history and reports it.
