See the domain history behind a release
When launch details change, get the context without starting a new investigation.
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
WHOIS Historical Lookup
Tool to access historical domain records from comprehensive database with up to 100 records per page. Use when you need to retrieve historical WHOIS data for a domain dating back to 1986. Database is updated monthly with one-month data latency.
Why this helps
A release change can raise questions about domain ownership or timing, but historical research is easy to postpone.
- Make domain history easier to review
- Support handoffs with evidence over time
- Reduce one-off research requests
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Whoisfreaks to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When the selected GitHub release changes, retrieve historical WHOIS records for the related domain and summarize notable registration changes.
- 4Pick the release state trigger, choose the reporting channel, and test with one release update.

How far back can historical data go?
Whoisfreaks historical WHOIS data can include records dating back to 1986, subject to domain coverage.
Is this a live lookup?

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
ASN WHOIS Lookup
Tool to retrieve comprehensive ASN WHOIS information including ownership, network infrastructure, and IP address ranges. Use when you need to identify ASN ownership, organization details, or associated IP blocks for network administration or security analysis.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Bulk DNS Lookup
Tool to process multiple domains or IPs simultaneously, returning all DNS records in a single request (max 100). Use when you need to retrieve DNS records for multiple domains at once for efficient batch processing.
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Bulk Domain Availability Check
Tool to check availability of multiple domains in one request (max 100 domains). Use when you need to verify if domain names are available for registration. Response time ranges from 16 seconds to 1 minute for 100 domains.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. 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.
Bulk WHOIS Lookup
Tool to query WHOIS information for up to 100 domains in a single request. Use when you need comprehensive registration details, contact information, name servers, and domain status for multiple domains. Response includes normalized and parsed WHOIS data with 1 credit charged per successful query for each domain.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
DNS Live Lookup
Tool to perform real-time DNS record resolution for network diagnostics and configuration verification. Use when you need to retrieve current DNS records for a domain or perform reverse DNS lookup for an IP address.
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 Domain Availability
Tool to check if a domain is available for registration with optional suggestions. Use when you need to verify domain availability or get alternative domain suggestions.
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.
Get Domain Files Status
Tool to check availability and update status of domain data files including newly registered, expired, and dropped domains. Use when you need to verify that domain data files are prepared and ready for download before accessing file download endpoints.
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.
IP Geolocation Lookup
Tool to retrieve geographic location information for an IP address including country, city, coordinates, ISP, and security details. Use when you need to identify the physical location of an IP, detect VPN/proxy usage, or gather network intelligence for security or analytics purposes.
