Give every release tag a communication checkpoint
A release tag marks a moment worth explaining, not just a version worth recording.
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
List templates
This tool retrieves a list of all available templates in the echtpost account. templates serve as the base design for postcards and are essential for creating cards. the action operates independently using only an authentication token and returns detailed template information including id, name, description, preview url, type, and creation time. this action is crucial for viewing templates before creating cards and obtaining the necessary template ids for subsequent actions.
Why this helps
Release communication is often delayed because the technical milestone and the announcement live in separate systems.
- Adds communication to the release ritual
- Helps reuse a reliable announcement structure
- Keeps partner and customer updates closer to shipping
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Echtpost to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When a new GitHub release tag is created, list Echtpost templates appropriate for release notes, customer notices, and partner updates.
- 4Pick the new repository tag trigger, select the reporting channel, and test with one release tag.
Questions about this workflow
Can it watch only version tags?
Yes. Configure the trigger for the relevant tag prefix and state that requirement in the instruction.
Can it suggest different templates by audience?
Yes. Ask Notis to group recommendations by customer, partner, and internal audience.

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.
Branch Changed

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.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
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 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.
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.
