This task can be performed using AutoChangelog
Never think about writing a changelog again. Merge, deploy, done.
Set Up the Webhook
Before starting, copy the webhook endpoint, confirm you can edit GitHub repository settings, and decide which repository should feed the changelog. Review what data the endpoint expects and whether each project needs its own webhook.
Add the endpoint as a webhook, use the requested payload format, and subscribe only to the pull request or push events required by the setup. Save it, send a test delivery, then merge a small change and confirm the release note appears correctly.

More about testing deliveries
A saved webhook is not proof that updates work. Verify one complete workflow automation cycle before connecting more repositories or relying on generated notes.
- Check the latest delivery for a 2xx response and inspect any error body.
- Confirm the test event contains the pull request or commit data the endpoint expects.
- If notes are missing, check event selection, endpoint URL, permissions, and repository scope before recreating the webhook.
