DuckPost automation starts with the Release Agent. It connects your GitHub repository to DuckPost so merged work can become release notes faster.

​
What automation helps with

  • Generating draft release notes from repository activity
  • Keeping your release format consistent with saved style rules
  • Auto-publishing production updates when enabled
  • Sending subscriber notifications from automated releases when enabled

​
