Create launch tasks from new GitHub tags
Let version tags trigger the small but essential work that follows a release.
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
Create Task
Tool to create a new user task in Habitica. Use after gathering task details like text, type, and optional properties.
Why this helps
Tagging a version feels like the finish line, so launch follow-up can slip.
- Captures post-tag actions
- Supports reliable releases
- Makes launch work visible
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 5Create a test version tag.
Questions about this workflow
Can it focus on version tags?
Yes. Ask Notis to treat the tags you use for releases as the trigger context.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Habitica. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Habitica actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Task to Challenge
Tool to add a new task to a specified challenge. Use when you need to programmatically create a challenge task after the challenge is set up and you have its ID.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Cancel Subscription
Attempts to cancel the authenticated user's subscription. Since Habitica's public API does not provide a cancellation endpoint, this action checks the current subscription state and returns: - success=True with a no-op message if there is no active subscription - success=False with guidance to cancel via the website/app if a subscription appears active
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
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.

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.
Create Webhook
Tool to create a new webhook for taskActivity events. Use when you need real-time notifications of task creation, updates, deletion, or scoring.
