Create release record from new code repository release

Automatically monitor new release events across GitHub repositories and release databases. Create and update release records when releases publish, release candidates show up, or prerelease tags appearβ€”so you can filter tags, map metadata, and keep production release stages current without manual release logging.

How this automation records production releases

When new release events trigger, prerelease or candidate entries can pollute release tracking. This automation filters releases, then creates release database items and maps metadataβ€”so your team can keep production release stages accurate.

  1. 1.Monitor new release

    Integrate GitHub and release event payloads to capture the release identifier, published timestamp, and release URL.
