Slack: Is the feature "releases" send notifications for pushed tags?

[artful88533]

Hello!
Can I send notifications only for new Releases and Tags?
I subscribe only feature "releases".
When I create releases in Github Web, notifications send correct.
When I create and push tags from console, notifications don't send.

+1, pushing tags does not create a notification

I'd also like to be able to have the bot announce notifications of new git tags (without having to configure a github release for each tag)

I looked into implementing this. I'm not able to find any event in the webhook api for subscribing to new tags in a repo. Has this functionality been dropped in the new webhook API? It seems like this would be a pre-requisite for adding this feature to this slack bot integration.

According to the doc here https://developer.github.com/webhooks/:

| push | Triggered on a push to a repository branch. Branch pushes and repository tag pushes also trigger webhook push events. This is the default event.

So it seems like subscribing webhook to a push event then filtering out non-tag pushes can solve it, though I have no idea if this "filtering out" can be done in the context of this Slack app.

Is this still relevant? If so, just comment with any updates and we'll leave it open. Otherwise, if there is no further activity, it will be closed.

Shouldn't this still be open?

+1 for this being an issue with tags not being marked as releases
