Ah basically all SAAS products send weekly/monthly product updates like this: https://www.notion.so/releases/2024-02-26

Does this help? If so would love to understand how I could have described it a little better :)

I'd call these 'release notes'

Gotcha. So the integration with Jira is to figure out what has changed and what needs to be communicated? And Sendgrid can be used to actually send the emails? I would be more explicit with the flow of things.

The example doesn't do it for me somehow, not sure why. I don't quite get how the dinner planning Notion page would get translated to sending an update of some sorts. You might just want to expand on that or use a different example. Maybe as simple as Jira tickets to Email with more resources of other integrations (input vs output). It was also a bit confusing to have the "Learn more ->" link (at least it looks like a link here) not do anything. Oh wait, is that whole red bordered box an example of a product update? That wasn't clear at all. Maybe combine that with the Jira tickets that were used as a source for that update.

This looks neat, I wish you good luck and hope it takes off. Let me know if I can help more.

this is great feedback.

I updated the title to "automatically generate beautiful product updates" and the made the demo image a little more obvious with a heading etc

think this would have helped you understand the product a little better faster? :)
