Examples

Real transformations that make a difference

The best way to understand Tallyfy Changelog? See it in action. Here are real examples showing how technical updates become customer-friendly announcements that people actually want to read.

New feature announcements

Great feature announcements focus on customer value, not technical implementation.

Example 1: Document upload feature

What developers wrote: “Implemented multipart file upload API endpoint with MIME type validation for DOCX and PDF formats integrated with AI parsing service”

What customers see: “Upload Word or PDF documents to instantly create templates - turn your existing procedures into Tallyfy processes in seconds”

Why it works:

  • Leads with the benefit (instant template creation)
  • Mentions specific file types customers use daily
  • Emphasizes time savings
  • No technical jargon

Example 2: Automation enhancement

What developers wrote: “Added conditional logic engine to workflow automation system supporting AND/OR operators with nested rule evaluation”

What customers see: “Create smarter automations with multiple conditions - like ‘if invoice over $10,000 AND requires CFO approval, then notify finance team’”

Why it works:

  • Uses a concrete example
  • Shows real business application
  • Makes complex feature feel simple
  • Helps customers visualize using it

Example 3: Integration launch

What developers wrote: “Implemented OAuth2.0 authentication flow for Microsoft Graph API v2.0 with automatic token refresh”

What customers see: “Connect Microsoft 365 in one click - access Teams, Outlook, and OneDrive without leaving Tallyfy”

Why it works:

  • Emphasizes simplicity (“one click”)
  • Names products customers recognize
  • Focuses on seamless experience
  • Creates excitement about possibilities

Improvement communications

Improvements need to show tangible benefits, not just that something changed.

Example 1: Performance boost

What developers wrote: “Optimized database queries and implemented Redis caching for dashboard endpoints”

What customers see: “Dashboard loads 5x faster - see your data instantly, even with thousands of active processes”

Why it works:

  • Specific improvement metric (5x)
  • Addresses a pain point (waiting)
  • Includes context (large datasets)
  • Creates “wow” moment

Example 2: UI enhancement

What developers wrote: “Refactored navigation component to lazy-load submenus and implement keyboard navigation”

What customers see: “Navigate faster with keyboard shortcuts - press ’/’ to search, ‘T’ for tasks, ‘P’ for processes”

Why it works:

  • Teaches while announcing
  • Provides specific examples
  • Shows immediate value
  • Encourages trying it

Example 3: Search improvement

What developers wrote: “Migrated search to Elasticsearch with fuzzy matching and relevance scoring algorithms”

What customers see: “Find what you need even with typos - search now understands ‘invice’ means ‘invoice’ and shows better results”

Why it works:

  • Relatable example everyone understands
  • Highlights smart behavior
  • Makes technical feature feel human
  • Promises better outcomes

Bug fix communications

Good bug fix announcements acknowledge the issue while celebrating the solution.

Example 1: Login issue

What developers wrote: “Fixed JWT token expiration handling in auth middleware preventing session refresh”

What customers see: “Fixed issue where some users were logged out unexpectedly - stay signed in as long as you need”

Why it works:

  • Acknowledges user frustration
  • Doesn’t over-apologize
  • Focuses on positive outcome
  • Clear and direct

Example 2: Data display bug

What developers wrote: “Resolved timezone conversion error in report generation service affecting UTC+X regions”

What customers see: “Fixed dates showing incorrectly for international teams - reports now display in your local timezone”

Why it works:

  • Identifies affected users
  • Explains the fix benefit
  • No technical timezone details
  • Emphasizes correctness

Example 3: Performance problem

What developers wrote: “Fixed memory leak in real-time notification service causing degraded performance”

What customers see: “Fixed slowdowns that occurred after extended use - enjoy consistently fast performance all day”

Why it works:

  • Describes symptom users noticed
  • Promises reliable experience
  • Avoids technical explanation
  • Positive forward focus

Breaking change notifications

Breaking changes require extra care - be clear about impact and next steps.

Example: API update

What developers wrote: “Deprecated v1 REST endpoints in favor of v2 with breaking changes to authentication headers”

What customers see: “Important: If you use our API, update your integration by March 1st for continued access. See our migration guide for simple steps.”

Why it works:

  • Clear deadline
  • Identifies affected users
  • Provides helpful resource
  • Action-oriented

Multiple updates in one release

When you have many changes, organize them thoughtfully.

Why this structure works:
