Create Writer release note drafts from GitHub releases
Make release communication easier to finish when the technical release details are updated.
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
Text Generation
Tool to generate text based on a given prompt. use when you need model-driven completions after crafting a prompt.
Why this helps
Release notes often stay rough because translating technical changes for customers takes a separate kind of focus.
- Bridges technical and customer language
- Prevents last-minute writing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Writer to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis.
- 3Describe how release changes should become customer-ready release note drafts.
- 4Choose the release state change trigger and reporting channel.
- 5Update a test release to check the draft.
