Announce GitHub releases on Vestaboard
Make a completed release feel concrete without drafting a separate announcement.
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
Send Message to Subscription
Tool to send a message to a specific vestaboard subscription. use after confirming you have the subscription id. example: "send 'hello!' to subscription sub ab12cd34ef."
