Trigger
New Repository Tag Created

Action
Stored Send Postcard

Why this helps
Customer communication often trails the code because it lives in a separate mental system.
- Connects shipping to outreach
- Creates a reusable release ritual
- Keeps sends reviewable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Thanks io to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it by chat.
- 3Tell Notis to prepare a stored Thanks io postcard for the configured release-recipient list whenever a new version tag is created.
- 4Select the new tag trigger, choose the reporting channel, and test with one tag.
Questions about this workflow
Can the tag name appear in the message?
Yes. Ask Notis to include the new tag or release context.
Can I send later?
Yes. The stored postcard can be reviewed and executed later.
