GitHub Action
Notion release notes
This action allows you to specify an existing database in your Notion workspace, and create a new entry each time your action runs. This is currently specifically aimed at release notes, but could be used for a more generic purpose if you like, fields are kept purposefully quite generic.
This would typically be used alongside https://github.com/mikepenz/release-changelog-builder-action to actually programmatically build the release notes based on tags / pull-requests.
First, you need to have an integration access token - which you can get from https://www.notion.so/my-integrations after creating an integration. Give the integration a friendly name like 'Github Action Release Notes'.
By default integrations cant access any content so you you must share your database with the integration you created earlier to be able to access it!
This action expects a Notion database with the following properties:
- Name: text
- Date: date
- Tags: tags
You can use the following template and duplicate it: https://infinitaslearning.notion.site/Notion-Release-Notes-a97bedb581464a3ea24159d8eac576c0
It can look like this:
And each actual page contains whatever your release notes are:
Typically this is used with a changelog builder:
- name: Release Changelog Builder
uses: mikepenz/[email protected]
id: build_changelog
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
- name: Notion release notes
uses: infinitaslearning/notion-release-notes@main
with:
token: ${{ secrets.NOTION_TOKEN }}
database: 619f0845c68a4c18837ebdb9812b90c0
name: Super Amazing Service
tags: segment,team,service-name
body: ${{ steps.build_changelog.outputs.changelog }}
To get the database ID, simply browse to it, click on the '...' and get a 'Copy link'. The GUID at the end of the URL is the id.
Assumes you have @vercel/ncc
installed globally, you need a NOTION_TOKEN
in your environment for the tests to pass.
After changes ensure you npm run build
, commit and then submit a PR.
