Keep release messaging aligned with video performance
When release notes or status change, see whether the supporting video is doing its job.
Trigger
GitHub Release State Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub release (identified by tag name) changes. Monitors the release title, body/notes, draft flag, prerelease flag, published timestamp, target branch/commit, and the set of attached assets. The payload includes the full current release details, a list of which fields changed, and the previous values for comparison.
Action
Get Video Metrics
Tool to retrieve analytics metrics for a specified video. use when you have a video id and need its metrics (views, engagement, viewers, watch time).
Why this helps
Release notes evolve after publication, but video performance is rarely checked alongside those changes.
- Connects release messaging changes to audience behavior
- Flags content worth revisiting before promotion
- Keeps launch follow-up in one report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Spotlightr to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: When the monitored GitHub release changes, retrieve metrics for the supporting Spotlightr video and summarize whether the updated release messaging needs a content follow-up.
- 4Choose the release-state-change trigger, select the run-report channel, and test with one release update.
Questions about this workflow
What release changes are monitored?
The trigger can detect changes to the title, notes, draft status, prerelease status, publication time, target, and assets.
Can it ignore asset-only changes?
Yes. Ask Notis to report only when the relevant release fields change.

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.
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. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
