Zapier flow:
1) Trigger: GitHub → New Release (select repo).
2) Filter: Only continue if draft=false and tag_name matches regex.
3) Action: Jira → Find Issue (use JQL to prevent dupes); then Create Issue (summary=Release {{tag_name}}, description=body + URL).
4) Action: Slack → Post Message to channel; then Post Reply in Thread using the message's ts.
Rate limits: use an authenticated GitHub token (5000/hr), prefer webhooks vs polling, add retries/backoff.
