From what I understand from docs, when conditional statement

```auto
if: |
      build.tag != null

```

is used, whenever a release tag like `v0.0.1` is published, a new build is triggered for the last commit to the main (or the published branch)

- But somehow no job is triggered.
- Is there anything else that should be added or settings changed?

I saw this [Trigger Pipelines on Tag](https://forum.buildkite.community/t/trigger-pipelines-on-tag/1778) post.  
That solves this problem
