How do I generate release notes from GitHub commits?

By connecting Announcify to your GitHub repository, our AI engine automatically detects new commits and pull requests, summarizes the technical changes, and writes customer-friendly release notes.

What is the difference between GitHub Releases and Announcify?

GitHub Releases is a great tool for developers to manage version tags and source code distribution. However, Announcify is built for customer communication. It translates technical notes into engaging product updates, provides an in-app widget, SEO-optimized public pages, and email notifications.

Can I use AI to write my changelog?

Yes! Announcify's core feature is its AI release notes generator, which reads your GitHub commit history and pull requests to draft professional changelog posts automatically.

Does Announcify expose my private GitHub code to customers?

No. The AI specifically translates and redacts technical jargon, internal IDs, and sensitive data to create public-facing summaries. You also have full control to review every generated draft before it gets published.

Can I filter which GitHub commits trigger a release note?

Yes, you can configure Announcify to only trigger on specific branches (like 'main'), specific tags, or when pull requests are merged, ensuring you only publish meaningful updates.

Does this GitHub integration cost extra?

No, the GitHub integration is included in all Announcify plans, including the free tier.
