Never Let Documentation Delay Your Product Updates Again

Release day shouldn't mean documentation scramble. Here's how to automate the whole thing.

The Release Day Scramble

The code is ready. QA signed off. Everyone's excited to ship. Then someone asks: 'Where are the release notes?'

Suddenly, someone has to stop everything, open Jira, find the relevant tickets, and write documentation. By hand. Under time pressure.

It happens every release. And it doesn't have to.

Automate the Entire Flow

FastDoc triggers on Jira version releases. When you mark a version as Released, documentation generates and publishes automatically. Before you're done celebrating, the release notes are live.

What Gets Automated

  • Release notes from version issues
  • Change logs with ticket links
  • Stakeholder notifications
  • Confluence page updates

The Setup

One automation rule. Five minutes to configure. Works for every future release.

The rule watches for version releases. When triggered, it pulls all issues from that version, generates documentation using your template, and publishes to your configured destination.

Why This Matters

Documentation delays are release delays. When notes aren't ready, marketing waits, support waits, customers wait.

Automated documentation removes that bottleneck entirely. Ship when you're ready, not when the docs are ready.
