Turn GitHub Pull Requests into AI-Written Release Notes in Slack

Introduction

Keep everyone aligned on what changed—without writing release notes by hand. This automation listens for GitHub pull request events, uses AI to turn PR details into a short release-note summary, and posts it directly to Slack.

Benefits

  • Save time by eliminating manual release-note writing for every PR
  • Keep product, QA, and support instantly informed in Slack
  • Standardize updates with a consistent headline + bullet format
  • Reduce missed announcements when PRs are opened or closed

Trigger Event

When a pull request is opened or closed in the selected GitHub repository.

Actions

  1. Pull request details (repo name, PR title, description, author, PR number, and event type) are captured from GitHub.
  2. An AI step converts those PR details into concise, plain-text release notes formatted for Slack (headline + 2–4 bullets), without inventing extra technical details.
  3. The generated release notes are posted to your selected Slack channel so the team gets an immediate update.
