  • Client uses Linear or Jira for ticket tracking
  • Agency has admin access to client's Slack workspace or email system
  • Client agrees to a monthly retainer for ongoing release note generation
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Create changelogfa.st workspace and connect agency's GitHub or GitLab account
  • 2.Review client's commit conventions and ticket labels to plan noise filtering rules
  • 1.Configure first client workflow using sentence-based builder
  • 2.Set triggers for GitHub releases and merges, and map ticket enrichment from Linear or Jira
  • 1.Select voices (technical, executive, plain-English) for each audience
  • 2.Set destinations: Slack channel, email list, and public changelog page
  • 1.Test release note generation with sample commits and tickets
  • 2.Adjust noise filtering to exclude documentation and chore commits
  • 1.Customize public changelog page with client branding and custom domain

Tool cost ranges from $9 to $79 per month depending on release volume, with agency setup fee typically $1,800 for 16 hours of configuration.5-7 days
ROI Logic

At a $1,800 setup fee plus a $500 monthly retainer, the agency covers tool costs (up to $79/month) and earns over 80% margin on the retainer. Each client requires minimal ongoing effort since changelogfa.st automates note generation, allowing the agency to scale multiple accounts without adding headcount.

Deliverables
  • Configured changelogfa.st workspace with client repository and ticket integrations
  • Public changelog page with client branding and custom domain
  • Automated Slack and email notification setup for release notes
  • Documented release workflow and handoff guide
  • Monthly release note quality report
Definition of Done

Client receives automated release notes in three voices across all chosen channels for a live release, with no manual editing required.
