On GitHub release event

onGitHubReleaseEvent exposes the broad GitHub release webhook family, including created, edited, deleted, prereleased, published, released, and unpublished actions.

automations/watch-github-releases.automation.ts

import { automation } from "automate.ax"
import { onGitHubReleaseEvent } from "automate.ax/github"

export default automation("Watch GitHub releases", () => {
  const event = onGitHubReleaseEvent()
  event.transform(({ action, release, repository }) => ({
    action,
    repository: repository.full_name,
    tag: release.tag_name,
  }))
})

Optional static account defaults to the project binding. Returns Signal<GitHubReleaseEvent>, GitHub’s typed release webhook union with action, release, repository, sender, installation, and action-specific fields. The installation needs Contents read permission and repository access. Prefer On GitHub release published when only publication matters.
