What it does

This workflow reacts to upstream releases before you even open an upgrade PR. The moment a package you depend on ships a new version, it pulls the release notes, figures out which of your modules use that package, and drafts a Notion brief documenting whether and how you should adopt it.

When to use it

Use it when you want to evaluate upgrades proactively rather than waiting for a bot to bump them, especially for core libraries where you decide adoption deliberately. Good for platform teams maintaining an upgrade log as living documentation.

How it works

A webhook fires when a watched package publishes a release (via a release-monitor or GitHub release event). The flow fetches the release notes for the new version and queries the repository for modules importing that package. The model produces a structured brief: highlights, breaking changes, the affected internal modules, and an adopt / wait / skip recommendation with reasoning. A new page is created in a Notion upgrade-log database with these fields populated, giving the team a durable, searchable record of every release decision.

Set it up

  1. 1
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  2. 2
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  3. 3
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  4. 4
    Connect NotionPages, databases, comments.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
