Announcements

Broadcast product updates — in-app via Banner / Toast / Modal / Slideout, plus a public changelog.

Open Announcements → Announcements to see every announcement, grouped by collection.

Status filter pills at the top: All · Draft · Live · Scheduled · Archived.

Anatomy

Each announcement row shows:

  • Title (with optional badge — e.g. "New", "AI", "Info", "SDK")
  • Layout: Banner, Toast, Modal, or Slideout
  • Audience (e.g. "All users", or a segment)
  • Status (Draft / Live / Scheduled / Archived)
  • Impressions count

Status lifecycle

draft → scheduled → live → paused → archived
  • Draft — not visible anywhere
  • Scheduled — hidden until the scheduled time, then auto-flipped to live
  • Live — visible per your audience and display rules
  • Paused — hidden but not archived; re-publish later
  • Archived — removed from feeds. Permalink still works.

Collections

Group related announcements into collections. Each collection has a name and badge (e.g. "First Collection" → custom badge, "Release Notes" → release badge).

Click + New Collection to add one.

Creating an announcement

Click + New Announcement. The builder lets you set:

  • Title and body (rich text)
  • Badge / category
  • Cover image (optional)
  • Layout — Banner / Toast / Modal / Slideout
  • Collection
  • Audience (all users or a segment)
  • Display rules — frequency, URL targeting, device

Sharing

Each announcement has a permalink. Drop it in email or a share menu:

https://changelog.yourcompany.com/announcements/release-2-4-0

Or open in-app via the SDK:

Chirp.announcement.open("release_2_4_0");

notifyRequesters

When you publish an announcement linked to a feedback post or backlog item, notifyRequesters auto-notifies the people who asked for that feature.
