GitHub release automation: Generate notes, draft releases, Slack notify
This automation workflow simplifies the release management process for open-source projects and SaaS companies. It automatically generates structured release notes from merged GitHub pull requests, creates a draft GitHub release with the latest tag and release notes, and sends a formatted summary to a designated Slack channel. The workflow is triggered manually via a form where the user inputs the repository, owner, and target branch. It fetches the latest Git tag, commit date, and merged pull requests, then groups the pull requests by label and generates the release notes. It then creates a draft GitHub release and sends the summary to Slack, streamlining the communication of new releases.
