@exorift,

I already have created under types, but that includes prereleases.

No, created does not includes prereleases. You may have some misunderstandings here.

When you click the “Draft a new release” button to create a new release and publish it as a pre-release, actually this operation includes two activity types of release event.

• created - - A new release is created and saved. This activity will be triggered after you click the “Draft a new release” button and the “Publish release” button.

• prereleases - - A release is set as a pre-release and saved. This activity will be triggered after you select the “This is a pre-release” option and click the “Publish release” (or “Update release”) button.

When you click the “Draft a new release” button, then select the “This is a pre-release” option, and click the “Publish release” button:

• If you configure the event in the workflow file like as this:

  on:
    release:
      types: [created, prereleased]
  

  The workflow will be triggered twice by different activity types, one for created and another for prereleased.

• If you configure the event in the workflow file like as this:

  on:
    release:
      types: [created]
  

  The workflow will be triggered only once by the activity type created.
