How to Create Changelogs in FeedbackChimp

Creating a changelog in FeedbackChimp is a straightforward process. You can quickly create a new entry, categorize it using labels, and even link feedback posts to showcase how user input drives product updates. Follow these steps to get started:

Step 1: Create a New Changelog Entry

Start by creating a new changelog entry from your FeedbackChimp dashboard.
  1. Navigate to the Changelog section.
  2. Click on Create New Changelog Entry.

Step 2: Create a Label for Your Changelog

Labels help you categorize your changelog entries for better organization.
You can create a label by navigating to Changelog→ Labels from your dashboard as shown below.

A popup will appear where you can enter the name of your label as shown below. You can create as many labels as you need and manage them later.

Note: We recommend creating a label before creating a changelog entry. If you created your changelog entry first, make sure to save the entry by clicking ‘Save as draft’ before going to your dashboard to create a label.
Once a label has been created, you can update your changelog to add that label as shown below.

Step 3: [Optional]: Link a Post to Your Changelog

If you wish to highlight user feedback that prompted this update, you can link a post directly to the changelog.
  1. Click on the ‘Linked posts’ option on your left-hand sidebar.
  2. Select the relevant post from the list of options shown in the dropdown.

  2. To notify your subscribers about the new changelog, enable the ‘Notify subscribers’ option.
  3. Click on the ‘Save and Schedule’ button when you are done.
