Connect GitHub version tags to YouTube

A new version tag can cue a clean, accurate launch-video update.

Trigger

New Repository Tag Created

Triggers when a new tag is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors the repository's tags and fires an event for each newly created tag. The payload includes the tag name, the commit SHA and URL it points to, and archive download URLs.

Action

Update video

Updates metadata for a youtube video identified by videoid, which must exist; an empty list for tags removes all existing tags.

Why this helps

Version launches create tiny but easy-to-miss YouTube metadata tasks.

  • Makes version messaging timely
  • Reduces launch context switching

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and YouTube to Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal.
  • 3Ask Notis to update your version launch video's title and description when a matching tag appears.
  • 4Select New Repository Tag Created and a reporting channel.
  • 5Create a test tag to confirm the result.
