Why does the “custom” job run even if pipeline.git.tag is empty?

Thank you

:wave: Hello @bananas. Welcome to the CircleCI Discuss community!

By default, CircleCI won’t build for any tag unless explicitly specified (which you have). However, the default behaviour is to build for all branches.

So in your case, you also need to explicitly exclude all branches so the workflow only runs when the deploy tag is pushed:

workflows:
  # Name the workflow "welcome"
  welcome:
    # Run the welcome/run job in its own container
    jobs:
      - custom:
          filters:
            tags:
              only: deploy
            branches:
              ignore: /.*/
      - welcome/run
