How to conditionally run steps and get the tag information using this bot instead of the github-action

[danielo515]

Hello.
I'm trying to use this bot instead of the github action (google-github-actions/release-please-action@v3) because this bot will trigger my other workflows, and I need them to keep things in sync.
However, I'm not sure how I will read the created release tag, and conditionally run steps if I remove the github action.
For example, given this workflow:

name: Release
jobs:
    release:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        steps:
            - name: Checkout Repo
              uses: actions/checkout@v3

            - name: Install Dependencies
              run: npm ci

            - name: Build
              run: npm run build

            - name: Release Please
              uses: google-github-actions/release-please-action@v3
              id: release
              with:
                  command: manifest
                  token: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
            - name: Upload Release Assets
              if: ${{ steps.release.outputs.release_created }}
              env:
                  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
                  TAG_NAME: ${{ steps.release.outputs.tag_name }}
              run: |
                  gh release upload $TAG_NAME main.js manifest.json styles.css

How will I accomplish the same by removing the action and just using this bot?

I would look at an alternative event trigger for your publish action -- I suggest release.created: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#release

@chingor13 the release created runs when the release has been already created, and at that time it is too late. I don't want a additional job that adds files to the release after it has been created, I want all my relevant files there by the time the release is created
