Changelog and release notes · Autessa Status Page
Reviewer reminders
Autessa Status Page emails your changelog reviewers every weekday at 4:30 PM Pacific: how many drafts are waiting for approval and which days they cover, how many pull requests merged today, and a link straight to the Changelog page. The email only reminds; it never approves or publishes anything. You can also have an agent call or email a reviewer when drafts are waiting.
The problem it solves
A gate is only as good as the people who open it
Human approval keeps the changelog safe, but drafts nobody looks at are just a backlog. A short, predictable daily nudge at the end of the workday keeps release notes flowing without anyone having to remember.
What you get
- Weekdays at 4:30 PM Pacific, through daylight saving changes.
- Subject like "Changelog review for Tue, Nov 3".
- Lists the drafts waiting and the days they cover, for example "2 drafts are waiting for approval: Oct 31 and Nov 2."
- Counts today's merged pull requests: "They will make up the draft for Nov 3."
- Says so plainly when nothing merged today.
- A button to open the Changelog page in Status Admin.
- Add a person with name and email; duplicates are caught.
- Remove a person with a confirmation; they stop getting the email.
