Make GitHub Release Changes Actionable
Notice the release updates that deserve a response.
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
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified servicenow table. this endpoint allows you to create a new record with the provided data in the specified table.
Why this helps
A release can change from draft to published or gain assets without anyone remembering to update the operational plan.
- Surfaces meaningful release-state changes
- Preserves previous and current context
- Helps trigger communication and verification
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and ServiceNow to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: “When a GitHub release changes state, create a ServiceNow record summarizing the changed fields, current release details, assets, and link, with suggested follow-up.”
- 4Select the release-state trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with one release update.
Questions about this workflow
Can this focus on publication only?
Yes. Tell Notis to create records only when the release becomes published or otherwise reaches the state you care about.
Can asset changes be included?
Yes. The release payload includes attached assets and changed fields.
