GitHub tag push doesn't trigger build

I trying to get my build artifacts released as GitHub release, which should be triggered by a tag push. However, no builds are triggered with my configuration on tag push (skip_tags is not included in the config, so it should be disabled by default?)

branches:
  only:
    - appveyor
  except:
    - master
    - develop
...
deploy:
  release: $(appveyor_repo_tag)
  description: 'Release description'
  provider: GitHub
  auth_token:
    secure: ...
  artifact: thin-jar
  draft: true
  prerelease: false
  on:
    appveyor_repo_tag: true        # deploy on tag push only

The webhook has delivered a push event with the following payload..

{
  "ref": "refs/tags/vX.Y.3",
  "before": "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
  "after": ...,
  "created": true,
  ...

   I don't see the whole webhook payload, but if base_branch is not set AppVeyor sets it to tag name, so basically build doesn't come through branches filter. Try adding regex to allowed branches:

   branches:
     only:
       - appveyor
       - /v\d\.\d\.\d/
     except:
       - master
       - develop
   ...

   Do you by chance mean base_ref instead of base_branch?

   "base_ref": null,

   Since I haven't changed any settings on the repo, I imagine this to be rather default case. Maybe, a small remark should be added to the documentation?

   Thank you, Feodor! This has solved the issued.
