Claude Drafts Monthly Release Notes From a Slack Channel

4 min setup

No coding required

Runs automatically

Product updates get announced in Slack as they ship, then nobody turns them into customer-facing release notes. This workflow runs on the first of each month, pulls last month's messages from your announcements channel, and has Claude group them into a clean release notes draft, leaving out internal chatter and names. The draft lands in your inbox, ready to edit and publish.

FAQs

Does this publish the release notes automatically?

No. Claude's draft is emailed to you, so a person checks it for accuracy and anything that shouldn't be public before it goes live.

Can it read a private channel?

Yes, as long as the Slack account connected to MESA is a member of that channel.

Can I match our usual writing style?

Yes. Paste an example of past release notes into the Claude prompt and ask it to follow the same tone and structure.

Personalize this template

Customize this workflow even further:

Post the draft back to Slack

Replace the email with a Slack message to a review channel, so the team can comment on the draft in a thread.

Run it weekly

Change the schedule to every Monday and the message range to the past seven days for a weekly changelog.
