Capture Better Stack availability for a new GitHub release tag
Give every tagged release a simple service baseline.
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
Get Monitor Availability
Tool to return an availability summary for a specific monitor. use when you need uptime percentage and incident details within an optional date range.
Why this helps
Without a pre-release baseline, later troubleshooting starts with uncertainty.
- Creates consistent release context
- Supports easier rollback decisions
- Reduces manual preflight checks
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Better Stack to Notis once.
- 2Create a portal automation.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve monitor availability whenever a release tag is created.
- 4Choose New Repository Tag Created and select a report channel.
- 5Test by creating a real release tag.
