Description
Generate GitHub Release Notes with AI
Automatically generate GitHub release notes using AI.
This workflow compares your latest two GitHub releases, summarises the changes, and produces a clean, ready-to-paste changelog entry.
It’s ideal for automating GitHub Releases, versioning workflows, and keeping your documentation or CHANGELOG.md up to date without manual editing.
What this workflow does
- Listens for newly published GitHub Releases.
- Fetches and compares the latest two GitHub release versions.
- Uses an AI Chat Model to summarise changes and generate structured release notes.
- Outputs clean, reusable release note content for GitHub, documentation, or CI/CD pipelines.
How it works
- GitHub Trigger detects a new published release.
- Release detail nodes extract the latest tag, body, and repository metadata.
- Comparison logic fetches the previous release and prepares a diff.
- Chat Model nodes (via OpenRouter) generate both a summary and a final, formatted release note.
Requirements / Connections
- GitHub OAuth credential configured in n8n.
- OpenRouter API key connected to the Chat Model nodes.
Setup instructions
- Import the template.
- Select your GitHub OAuth connection in all GitHub nodes.
- Add your OpenRouter credential to the Chat Model nodes.
- (Optional) Adjust the AI prompts to customise tone or formatting.
Output
The workflow produces:
- A concise summary of differences between the last two GitHub releases.
- A polished AI-generated GitHub release note ready to publish.
Customisation ideas
- Push generated notes directly into a CHANGELOG.md or documentation repo.
- Send release summaries to Slack or Teams.
- Include commit messages, PR titles, or labels for deeper analysis.
