Automatically create structured product documentation in Notion whenever new features are merged to your main branch. Perfect for product teams who want to keep stakeholders updated without manual documentation work.

Workflow Steps

1

GitHub

Trigger on merge to main branch

Set up a webhook or use GitHub Actions to trigger when pull requests are merged to your main branch. Configure it to capture commit messages, file changes, and PR descriptions that contain feature information.

2

Zapier

Parse commit data and structure content

Use Zapier's Code by Zapier or Formatter tools to extract relevant information from the GitHub webhook payload. Parse commit messages for feature descriptions, extract changed files, and format the data for documentation.

3

Notion

Create structured page in docs database

Automatically create a new page in your Notion documentation database with structured fields: Feature Name, Description, Technical Details, Files Changed, and Release Date. Apply consistent templates and tags for easy organization.
