Check Gitea version from Slack
When someone asks whether the self-hosted Gitea instance is on the expected release, Notis retrieves its actual version and reports it in the chosen channel.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggers when a message is posted in a channel, excluding direct messages.
Action
Get Version
Retrieve the application version.
Why this helps
Release planning stalls while someone searches for the instance version.
- Retrieve the live version on demand
- Keep release discussions tied to a specific instance
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Gitea to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation, or open Automations → New Automation in the portal.
- 3Use this plain-language prompt: “In the release channel, respond only to explicit version-check requests; get the Gitea version and report the value with the instance name.”
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports; create it and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this check for updates?
No. It retrieves the installed version; it does not compare against a release feed or upgrade Gitea.
