If the format is valid, it fetches recent commit changes from GitLab and uses them to generate release notes. After that, it creates a Jira task so the QA team can track and test the release. Finally, it sends notifications to separate Slack channels for the Development team and QA team with release details, Jira ticket information and testing updates. If the tag format is invalid, the workflow stops and sends a warning message to Slack.\n\n\n## Setup steps\n**1.** Connect your GitLab account and add the webhook URL in your GitLab repository webhook settings.\n**2.** Connect your Jira Cloud account and select the project where release tasks should be created.\n**3.** Connect your Slack account and choose separate Dev and QA channels.\n**4.** Add your GitLab API token in the HTTP Request node to fetch commits.\n**5.** Test by creating a new tag like v1.0.0 in GitLab.\n**6.** Activate the workflow after successful testing."
