How it works

1
Trigger

Listen for new GitHub releases

The workflow is triggered whenever a new GitHub release is published. It listens for these release events and initiates the process of generating detailed release notes.

2
Action

Fetch the latest published release

After being triggered, the workflow fetches details about the most recently published GitHub release, including the release tag, title, description, and other metadata.

3
Action

Store repository and owner details

The workflow stores the repository name and owner username to use in subsequent steps for fetching previous release details.

4
Action

Fetch the previous release

The workflow then fetches details about the release immediately prior to the latest one, including the release tag, title, description, and other metadata.

5
Action

Extract release tags

The workflow extracts the release tags for both the latest and previous releases to use in the next step for comparing changes.

6
Action

Compare release changes

The workflow compares the commit and file changes between the latest and previous releases to identify what's new or has been updated.

7
Logic

Confirm differences exist

The workflow checks whether there are any meaningful differences between the two releases. If no changes are detected, the process ends here.

8
AI

Summarize release changes

Using AI-powered text summarization, the workflow generates a concise summary of the new features, improvements, bug fixes, and other changes between the two releases.

9
AI

Generate release notes

The workflow uses the change summary to produce the final release notes, ensuring a polished and consistent changelog entry to accompany the new GitHub release.

Setup guide

Configure the GitHub trigger

In the Latenode visual builder, add a GitHub Trigger node. Configure it to listen for new releases on the specific GitHub repository you want to generate release notes for.

3

Set up the GitHub release details

Add a GitHub node to the workflow and configure it to fetch the details of the latest two GitHub releases, including the commit and file changes.

4

Summarize the release changes

Add an AI-powered node to the workflow, such as an OpenAI or Google AI node, to analyze the release details and generate a summary of the changes, grouping them into sections like new features, improvements, bug fixes, and other changes.

5

Generate the release notes

Finally, add a node to the workflow that takes the change summary and generates the final release notes in a formatted, ready-to-use format.

Requirements

Connect a GitHub account to access repository data and release management features
Obtain an OpenAI API key to leverage GPT-based text summarization capabilities
