GitHub Release Radar
Watch any public GitHub repository's latest release via the REST API — no embedded secrets. When the tag_name changes, your team gets a Slack ping and the new tag is stored in Redis for the next run.
What this workflow does
- Cron runs on your schedule
- HTTP GETs
/repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/latest - Redis GET loads the last seen tag
- Condition compares tag names
- On change → Slack + Redis SET + success Output
- No change → idle Output
Use cases
- Runtime release tracking (Bun, Node, your own OSS)
- Platform engineering "new drop" alerts
- Teaching API + cache + branch patterns
Setup
Point the HTTP node at your repo path. Attach Slack and Redis credentials in Heym — nothing ships inside the JSON file.
FAQ
Is an API token required? For public repos, unauthenticated requests work within GitHub rate limits; add a token in your HTTP headers only inside Heym if you need higher limits.
What if the repo uses tags but not GitHub Releases? Switch the URL to the tags or commits endpoint and adjust the Condition expression.
