Add the changelog URLs you want to monitor, choose your preferred AI provider, and ChangeScout will fetch the latest updates, detect meaningful changes, and generate easy-to-read summaries you can review in WordPress or receive by email. This is useful for: * **Product managers** who want to monitor competitor features, releases, and roadmap signals * **Marketers** who want to track product launches, positioning changes, and messaging updates * **Founders** who want a quick view of market movement without reviewing long changelog pages * **Researchers and analysts** who want structured summaries of product changes across multiple tools * **Customer success and support teams** who want to stay aware of updates that may affect customers * **Operations teams** who want a lightweight way to monitor important tools and platforms #### Key Features * **Multi-URL tracking** — monitor multiple changelog pages from plugins, SaaS tools, documentation sites, or product update pages * **AI summaries** — generate readable summaries using Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic Claude * **Scheduled emails** — receive changelog summaries weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly * **Force send** — fetch and email the latest changelogs on demand without waiting for the next schedule * **Change detection** — only send summaries when the source content actually changes * **Custom SMTP** — use Gmail or any SMTP server for more reliable delivery * **Auto-detect** — try common changelog and release-note URLs automatically from a domain * **Dashboard widget** — review recent summaries directly from the WordPress admin dashboard #### External Services This plugin connects to third-party services to fetch and summarize changelog content. **Google Gemini API** Used when you choose Gemini as your AI provider.

Upload the `changescout` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress 3. Navigate to **Tools > ChangeScout** 4. Enter your AI provider API key (Gemini, OpenAI, or Claude) 5. Add your changelog URLs to track 6. Configure your notification email and schedule ## Preguntas frecuentes ### Which AI providers are supported? Google Gemini (free tier available), OpenAI GPT-4, and Anthropic Claude. You need to provide your own API key for the chosen provider. ### Does the force-send button affect scheduled emails? No. Force-send is completely independent from scheduled emails. It bypasses the cache and sends immediately without updating the change-detection hash, so scheduled emails still fire normally. ### How do I set up Gmail SMTP? Enable 2-Factor Authentication on your Google account, then generate an App Password at myaccount.google.com/apppasswords. Use `smtp.gmail.com`, port `587`, encryption` TLS`, and enter your Gmail address and the App Password. ## Reseñas No hay reseñas para este plugin. ## Colaboradores y desarrolladores «ChangeScout – Track Changelogs & Product Updates Automatically» es un software de código abierto.
