ShipNote: Changelog & Product-Update Announcer
ShipNote: Changelog & Product-Update Announcer ships as a ready-to-import n8n automation package: load the bundled workflow JSON, connect the credentials listed on this page, and activate it on self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud.
Turn a published GitHub release into an AI-written customer announcement, posted to your changelog page, email list, Slack, and Discord — flat cost, no per-user billing.
- Fire an announcement automatically the moment you publish a GitHub release
- AI rewrites raw commit-style release notes into a short, friendly, non-technical update
- Prepend every release to a living CHANGELOG.md page on GitHub — no manual page edits
- Email your subscriber list straight from a Google Sheet, no changelog-tool subscription needed
- Cross-post the same announcement to Slack and Discord in one run
- Skip drafts, edits, and duplicate webhook deliveries so the same release never announces twice
- Replace $99/mo MAU-billed changelog tools with a flat one-time workflow cost
Setup Service — optional live install and test. Choose your tier at checkout (not tied to this template's price).
Paste the license key from your receipt. It must match this template.
