Key Features

​
Smart Filtering

The service maintains state to track the last processed date, ensuring you only receive notifications for genuinely new changelog entries. It initializes with yesterday’s date and updates after each successful run.

​
Rich Notifications

Each Google Chat message includes:
  • Card header with update count and latest date
  • Individual changelog items with bookmark icons
  • Formatted dates in readable format (e.g., “December 12, 2025”)
  • Direct links to full changelog entries
  • Quick access button to view all changelogs

​
Production-Ready

Deployed on Vercel with zero-configuration cron scheduling. The vercel.json configuration handles automated daily execution, and environment variables provide secure webhook management.
The service uses the official Shopify Developer Changelog RSS feed at https://shopify.dev/changelog/feed.xml
