Keep an automatic release version log
Every tag you create in GitHub is logged to your release sheet automatically. Version number, date, commit link. One place to see your full release history and plan the next version.
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
Append Values to Spreadsheet
Tool to append values to a spreadsheet. use when you need to add new data to the end of an existing table in a google sheet.
Why this helps
Release versions scatter across GitHub tags, changelogs, and your memory. You can't quickly answer 'when was v2.1 released' or 'what broke between v1.9 and v2.0'. Reconstruction takes forever and usually you just make up dates.
- Single source of truth for all releases and version numbers
- Easy to answer questions about past versions and timelines
- Automatic tracking means no manual version log maintenance
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a new tag is created in my repo, add it to my release log with the tag name, date, and commit it points to.'
- 3Choose 'New Repository Tag Created' as your trigger and your notification channel.
- 4Set up your sheet with columns for Version, Date Created, Commit SHA, Release Notes URL, and GitHub Link. Notis fills them in.
- 5Create a test tag in GitHub and confirm it appears in your release log immediately.
Questions about this workflow
Can I filter to only track release tags, not all tags?
Yes. You can ask Notis to log only tags matching a pattern like 'v*' or 'release-*'.
Can I add release notes automatically?
If you use GitHub releases, Notis can extract and include the release notes in your sheet or as a separate link.
What if I want to manually control what gets logged?
You can ask Notis to create a new row and await your approval before finalizing it. Gives you a review step if needed.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Google Sheets actions
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.
Add Sheet to Spreadsheet
Adds a new sheet (worksheet) to a spreadsheet. use this tool to create a new tab within an existing google sheet, optionally specifying its title, index, size, and other properties.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. 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.
Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Append Dimension
Tool to append new rows or columns to a sheet, increasing its size. use when you need to add empty rows or columns to an existing sheet.
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.
Batch get spreadsheet
Retrieves data from specified cell ranges in a google spreadsheet; ensure the spreadsheet has at least one worksheet and any explicitly referenced sheet names in ranges exist.
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.
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
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. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Batch Update Values by Data Filter
Tool to update values in ranges matching data filters. use when you need to update specific data in a google sheet based on criteria rather than fixed cell ranges.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Clear Basic Filter
Tool to clear the basic filter from a sheet. use when you need to remove an existing basic filter from a specific sheet within a google spreadsheet.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Clear spreadsheet values
Clears cell content (preserving formatting and notes) from a specified a1 notation range in a google spreadsheet; the range must correspond to an existing sheet and cells.
