Slack integration setup

2. Add the webhook to the sites settings page (wp-admin -> settings -> Release Notes)

Integrating with github releases

If you want to create a draft release note post using the notes you've added to the github release, you can do this automatically using the bigbite/project circleCI orb version 0.0.63 or newer. You just need to add the following to your .circleci/config.yml` file:

workflows:
  release-workflow:
    jobs:
      - project/set-release-notes:
          context: bigbite
          filters:
            branches:
              ignore: /.*/
            tags:
              only: /^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+(\-[\w\d\.]+)?$/

Creating a draft release remotely

If you want to create a draft release remotely, you can use the REST endpoint POST /release-notes/v1/new-release with the following parameters:

• body: string - a git-markdown string used for the content of the release note post
• isDraft: boolean - used to check if the release is just a draft, if it is true, the release note post will not be created
• name: string - the name of the release
• publishedAt: UTC date-time string - used to set the release date of the release note post
• tagName: string - the release version
• isPrerelease: boolean - used to note if a release is a pre-release or not
