I did not find a way to be notified when a release in the Google Play console is approved by Google team (and then I manually publish it the store) like "google has reviewed the app and it is now ready to publish".
It's annoying to visit the console every hour to know if the review process of my update is approved.
I already searched a solution with CI/CD like Bitrise or even tried to scrape the Google Play Console but no success.
Update: as of October 2021, the "Play console" app is now sending notification when your pending release is approved by Google and ready to be published in the store (even when manual publishing is enabled)
Yup. If you grab the Google Play Console app you can configure notifications in-app.

Yes, you can choose when to manually publish it using managed publishing. More info here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9859654?hl=en-GB
You can set up email or app notifications to know when an update has been reviewed and then use managed publishing to publish it.
You should probably get a mail everytime a build is live,
if not then maybe you could check the Email Settings.
Google Play Console > Settings > Enable App Updates if it is not already.
