Automate GitLab tag releases to Jira and Slack for Dev and QA

Git Tag → Release Notes → Jira → Slack (Dev + QA)

This workflow automatically detects a new GitLab tag, validates the version, fetches commit changes, generates release notes, creates a Jira task and sends notifications to separate Slack channels for Development and QA teams.

This workflow starts whenever a new tag such as v1.0.0 is pushed in GitLab. It checks whether the tag format is correct, collects recent commits, prepares release notes, creates a Jira issue for QA testing and sends Slack notifications to Dev and QA teams.

You receive:

- Automatic release process after GitLab tag push - Auto-generated release notes from commit history - Jira task for QA testing - Separate Slack alerts for Dev and QA teams

Ideal for teams that want a clean and automated software release process without manual follow-up.
