This task can be performed using AutoChangelog
Never think about writing a changelog again. Merge, deploy, done.
Automate changelog updates
Connect your source repository to the changelog workflow, then define which deployment event should publish an update. Use merged pull request titles and commit messages as source material, but exclude internal changes that users do not need to see.
Test the webhook on a noncritical project. Merge a small change, deploy it, and confirm that one readable entry appears with the correct project and release. Once verified, apply the same preferences across projects and review failed or duplicate events.

dev-tools
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.

More about deployment matching
Before rolling out AutoChangelog, test whether its generated release notes match the deployed code. This is the most important checkpoint when comparing dev-tools for an automated publishing workflow.
- Use a test merge with a recognizable pull request title and commit.
- Trigger the webhook once and confirm only one entry is published.
- Verify that the entry belongs to the correct project and deployment.
