How does AutoChangelog work?

AutoChangelog integrates with your GitHub repository and automatically generates changelog entries from your pull requests. When you merge a PR, our AI analyzes the changes and creates a clear, user-friendly changelog entry. You can review and publish entries from your dashboard.

Do I need to write changelogs manually?

No! That's the whole point. AutoChangelog reads your pull requests and generates changelog entries automatically using AI. You can review and edit them before publishing, but you never have to start from scratch.

What information does AutoChangelog use to generate entries?

AutoChangelog analyzes your PR title, description, code changes, and any related commits. Our AI then transforms this technical information into clear, user-friendly language that explains what changed and why it matters.

Can I edit the generated changelogs?

Yes! Every generated entry can be reviewed and edited before publishing. You have complete control over what gets published to your changelog.

What's the difference between draft and auto-publish?

In draft mode, generated entries are saved as drafts for you to review before publishing. With auto-publish enabled, entries are published immediately when generated. You can choose either mode per repository in your settings.

Which GitHub plan do I need?

AutoChangelog works with any GitHub plan, including free accounts. As long as you can create pull requests in your repository, AutoChangelog can generate changelogs for them.

Can I use AutoChangelog with private repositories?

Yes! AutoChangelog works with both public and private GitHub repositories. We securely access your repository through GitHub OAuth with the permissions you grant.

How many repositories can I connect?

The Free plan supports 1 repository. The Pro plan supports 1 repository with unlimited PR processing. The Team plan supports unlimited repositories with unlimited PR processing.

What happens if I exceed my plan's PR limit?

On the Free plan, you get 10 AI-generated changelogs per month. Once you reach this limit, new PRs won't generate changelog entries until your limit resets (monthly) or you upgrade to a paid plan.

Can I export my changelogs?

Your changelog entries are available via a public changelog page at autochangelog.com/c/[your-repo]. Each entry is written in Markdown and can be easily copied or accessed via our API.

What happens to my changelogs if I cancel?

All your published changelogs remain accessible even after cancellation. You'll have a 7-day grace period where everything continues working. After that, repositories exceeding the free tier limit will be disabled, but your changelog data is never deleted.

Can I customize the changelog format?

Currently, AutoChangelog uses a clean, consistent format optimized for readability. Custom templates and formatting options are planned for future releases. You can always edit individual entries to match your style.

Frequently asked questions

Got questions? We've got answers. Find everything you need to know about AutoChangelog below.

How is this different from conventional changelogs?

Traditional changelogs are manual, time-consuming, and full of technical jargon. AutoChangelog automatically generates clear updates each time you deploy. It analyzes your pull requests and commits, summarizes what changed, and writes a changelog your users will actually understand. After a quick one-time webhook setup, changelog generation happens automatically with every deployment.

How does AutoChangelog generate changelog entries?

AutoChangelog uses AI to analyze your pull requests, commit messages, and code changes. When you trigger the webhook during deployment, it automatically creates a clear, user-friendly summary of what changed. The result is a professional changelog written in plain language your users can understand. We only need read access to your repositories, never write access.

Can I edit or review entries before they're published?

Yes. You have complete control over every changelog entry. Choose auto-publish for a fully automated workflow, or review mode if you want to edit and approve entries before they go live. You can also update or unpublish entries at any time.

Do I need to install anything or change my workflow?

No changes to your code required. Just sign in with GitHub, install our app, and select the repositories you want to track. Then, add our webhook to your CI/CD pipeline or trigger it manually when you deploy. A simple one-time setup that fits seamlessly into your existing workflow.

Can I customize the look of my changelog?

Yes. Every changelog is fully customizable with your logo and brand colors. Choose from five responsive templates designed to look great on any device. Pro and Team plans also let you use your own domain with simple CNAME setup, so your changelog lives at changelog.yourdomain.com.

What happens if I exceed my plan's deployment limit?

On the Free plan, you can track up to 10 deployments per month. If you hit that limit, new deployments won't generate changelog entries until the next billing cycle or you upgrade. We'll notify you before you reach the cap so nothing slips through the cracks. Pro and Team plans include unlimited deployments, so you can ship as often as you like.

Does AutoChangelog work with private repositories?

Yes! AutoChangelog works with both public and private repositories. Your code and data remain secure and private. We only need read access to your repositories, never write access.

Can I customize what information appears in changelog entries?

Yes! Our system will generate your changelog entries and you're free to edit them any time. If you want to review entries before they go live, simply turn off auto-publish mode in your settings.

Can I manually add entries that aren't from PRs?

Yes! You can add a new manual entry at any time from within your dashboard. This is perfect for announcements, hotfixes, or any updates that don't come from pull requests or deployments.

How do I share my changelog with users?

Every plan includes multiple sharing options. You get a public URL, RSS feed, and an embed widget that you can add to your website or app.

Can I notify users when new changelog entries are published?

Yes! Users can subscribe to email notifications directly from your changelog page. They can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of any email. All emails are sent from hello@autochangelog.com.

Can I cancel or change my plan at any time?

Yes, of course. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. If you downgrade from Team to Pro, your team mates will lose access and you'll need to select a single repository to track. If you downgrade from Pro to Free, you'll have a limit of 10 tracked deployments per month.

Does it work with other Git platforms besides GitHub?

Currently, AutoChangelog only supports GitHub. We have plans to add BitBucket and GitLab soon. Register your interest here.
