Understand what a release change means beyond the changelog
A release is more useful when you know who it affects and why it matters.
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
Deliver it later
The report arrives as a follow-up message when it is ready.
Why this helps
Release updates can demand customer, competitor, and technical context that rarely fits into the act of publishing notes.
- Identify the audience affected by a release.
- Find comparable changes and market expectations.
- Support clearer launch and support decisions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Deep research to Notis once via the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations or tell Notis what you want in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction to research meaningful release changes and return customer impact, comparable releases, risks, and suggested communication angles.
- 4Choose the release-state trigger, select a report channel, and test with one changed release.
Questions about this workflow
Can it ignore minor metadata changes?
Yes. Ask the instruction to focus on changes with customer, product, or operational significance.
Will the report arrive immediately?
The later-delivery action sends it when the research is ready.

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.
Compare options
Weigh several products, vendors, or approaches.

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.
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.
