Why this helps
Release notes are often delayed because shipped changes are scattered across team conversations.
- Makes shipped changes easier to communicate.
- Keeps fixes and limitations in view.
- Reduces the end-of-release writing scramble.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Carbone to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis to draft release notes from a Slack shipping update.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to organize changes, fixes, and known limitations from the relevant message context.
- 4Select Channel Message Received and choose where run reports should be reported.
- 5Test with a real shipping update and review the generated notes before sharing.
