The FoxPlug GitHub Action

Your startup's chief of staff: it reads your whole stack and tells you what to fix, what to say, and what to skip.

This Action is one way FoxPlug reads your repo. Every release, and every push to your main branch, goes to your FoxPlug project, where it becomes a changelog entry and ready-to-post launch updates, waiting for you to approve.

Install in 3 steps

  1. Get your token. Open the GitHub Action row of your FoxPlug project and press Create a token. It is shown once.
  2. Save it as a secret. In your repository: Settings, Secrets and variables, Actions, New repository secret. Name it FOXPLUG_TOKEN and paste the token.
  3. Add the workflow. Save this as .github/workflows/foxplug.yml:
on: { push: { branches: ['**'] }, release: { types: [published] } }
jobs:
  foxplug:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - { uses: OsakaSaul/foxplug-changelog-action@v1, with: { foxplug-token: "${{ secrets.FOXPLUG_TOKEN }}" } }

The next release shows up in FoxPlug as a draft and a changelog entry, waiting for you.

What it sends: read-only, and only this

You can revoke the token in your FoxPlug project at any time; the next run then stops with a message saying so.

What you get back

Today brief

One thing to fix, one to say and one to skip, each with where the number came from.

Verdicts

Every win gets one plain label, worth a post, mention it briefly or skip it, with the reason.

Drafts you approve

A changelog entry and a post for each platform. FoxPlug never posts for you: nothing goes out until you approve it and press send.

See a made-up example of the whole brief on the sample page, or FoxPlug's own changelog, written from its own commits. Plans and what each includes are on the pricing page.
