Help articles follow: a repo or a changelog
Amendary checks your help articles when something ships. Each destination's help articles follow one source: a GitHub repo or your public changelog.
Which one should I use?
- A GitHub repo is the usual choice. Articles follow the repo’s What counts as shipped: commits, a branch, GitHub Releases or tags. See Pages & mapping.
- A changelog URL suits teams that announce releases on a public page, or cannot change GitHub settings. Amendary reads it every day and treats each new dated entry like a release. No repo is needed.
- One destination follows exactly one source. A release and a changelog entry never both fix the same article.
Set it
- On the Pages tab, open the destination’s tab: Notion, GitHub, Zendesk or Intercom.
- On its card, open the Help articles follow list. An owner picks a repo, a changelog saved before, or Changelog URL.
- For a new changelog, paste the page address or its RSS or Atom feed and select Save.
- Hover the list to see when the changelog was last read and how many new entries it found. A read error shows under the list.
Change or remove it
- Pick another source in the same list and confirm Switch. Moving from a repo to a changelog drops the articles’ repo mappings.
- Pick Not set and confirm Stop. Articles stay watched. Articles that followed a repo stay mapped to it. Articles that followed a changelog are not checked until you choose again.
- When you switch away from a changelog that no other destination follows, Amendary stops reading it. Nothing on your site changes.
What a valid changelog URL looks like
- An RSS or Atom feed, or a page with dated entries. If the page links to a feed, Amendary reads the feed.
- A clear date: a feed date, a date such as
2026-10-21, or a heading such as “October 21, 2026” or “21 October 2026”. - A public
httporhttpsaddress with no login. Ports 80 and 443 only, up to 3 redirects. - A response under 2 MB that arrives within 10 seconds.
- Up to 5 changelogs per workspace.
What is skipped
- Entries with no clear date. Amendary never guesses a date.
- Entries with no text, or over 8,000 characters.
- Entries older than 30 days, and any beyond the newest 10 in one read. Adding a changelog never replays its history.
- Entries seen before, and the page’s navigation, headers, footers and forms.
What Amendary does with an entry
- It checks the entry like a release, only against articles of destinations that follow it.
- The entry text is the proof. A value the entry does not state holds the fix for your review.
- It never copies entries into your product-updates page.
