This task can be performed using AutoChangelog
Never think about writing a changelog again. Merge, deploy, done.
Automate changelog updates
Start by defining which deployment event should publish an update, then make sure pull requests and commits use clear titles. Your automated changelog workflow needs access to the repository and a webhook from the system that knows when a production deployment succeeds.
Connect the webhook, choose which projects and changes to include, and set formatting preferences. Test with a small release, verify that only deployed work appears, then publish. Treat failed or rolled-back deployments separately so the public record matches production.

AutoChangelog turns your pull requests and commits into clean, readable release notes with no work on your part. Every merge becomes a structured update that keeps users informed and teams aligned. Add a simple webhook, choose your preferences, and your changelog stays accurate across every project. No templates, no forgotten entries, just automatic documentation that keeps pace with how you ship.

- Set up a webhook that triggers with each deployment so your changelog updates happen without any manual steps
- Pull request titles and commit messages get transformed into clean release notes that actually make sense to readers

- Skip the hassle of remembering what changed or writing summaries after the fact since everything gets captured as you work
More about deployment matching
The key checkpoint is matching each note to code that actually reached production. Build this verification into your release management workflow before making updates visible.
- Trigger publication only after a successful deployment event.
- Store the deployed commit SHA and compare it with included changes.
- On rollback, correct or retract the entry instead of adding a duplicate.
