Automation Modes
Event-Based
Generate content automatically when specific events occur in your repositories
Scheduled
Create content on a regular schedule with customizable frequency
How It Works
Notra’s automation system monitors your development activity and generates content using AI-powered workflows:Select Output Type
Choose what content to generate: changelogs, blog posts, Twitter posts, or LinkedIn posts
Supported Output Types
Automation supports multiple content formats. Changelogs, blog posts, Twitter posts, and LinkedIn posts are active in scheduled workflows; investor updates are represented in the product as a distinct content type but are not available for scheduled workflows yet.- Changelogs: Customer-facing release notes and feature updates
- LinkedIn Posts: Professional updates about your product progress
- Blog Posts: In-depth articles about features and improvements
- Investor Updates: Progress summaries for stakeholders and investors
All content is generated using your configured brand voice, tone, and custom instructions to ensure consistency.
Choosing the Right Mode
Select your automation approach based on your content strategy:- Event-Based
- Scheduled
Best for:
- Immediate responses to releases or deployments
- Real-time changelog generation
- Announcing new features as they ship
- Marketing moments around launches
- Generate a LinkedIn post when you publish a GitHub release
- Create a changelog when code is merged to production
- Announce feature updates immediately after deployment
Trigger Management
Each automation can be:- Enabled/Disabled: Turn automations on or off without deleting configuration
- Customized: Configure event types, schedules, and target repositories
- Tested: Manually trigger any automation to test output before enabling
- Monitored: View logs and history of all automation runs
You can combine both automation modes. For example, use event-based automation for immediate release announcements and scheduled automation for weekly progress summaries.
