Create a contact list when a GitHub PR becomes release-ready
Prepare the people you need for a release without having to remember the audience at the exact moment the PR changes state.
Trigger
Pull Request Updated
Triggers when an existing pull request is updated in a GitHub repository. Updates include title edits, description changes, label changes, assignee changes, reviewer requests, draft status changes, base branch changes, being closed, merged, or reopened. Only pre-existing PRs that receive an update will fire the trigger; newly created PRs are excluded. Supports optional filters: state, base branch, head branch, author, label, and draft status.
