start new workflow when commitizen pushes changelog

[manang]

Hi, do you know how I can start a new workflow when commitizen-actions creates a new changelog and a new tag? Thanks a lot

normally you would push the new commit (with the changelog) and the tag to your repo, and then you should have another action "listening" to the new tag and do something about it.

ok, thanks what I'm trying is: in main branch I need to launch a job after a merge. After this I need to launch a job, always on the main branch to do stuff. the second job does not start

a tag is a reference to a commit, if that commit is in the main branch, then you can "run" your action when you detect a new tag.

For example in commitizen you have this: https://github.com/commitizen-tools/commitizen/blob/20bcbc4bce1ed4995aa83694706524cf43f50df9/.github/workflows/bumpversion.yml#L1-L22

and then based on the tag you could do something like: https://github.com/commitizen-tools/commitizen/blob/20bcbc4bce1ed4995aa83694706524cf43f50df9/.github/workflows/pythonpublish.yaml#L1-L6

Option 2, is to make your action, trigger another action. See this

I'm trying your first option, but in my case the bumb does not trigger the another workflow. workflow 1: https://github.com/manang/hicn-sdk/blob/feature/create-tag-if-promote/.github/workflows/master.yml workflow 2: https://github.com/manang/hicn-sdk/blob/feature/create-tag-if-promote/.github/workflows/release.yml I don't understand the mistake. thanks a lot for your help

I'm not using the main branch, just for testing
