You publish API changelogs. Deprecation notices. Migration guides. Breaking change alerts.
Your developers read them — sometimes. After something breaks. Then they come to your support channel: “Why did [endpoint] change? When was this announced?”
It was announced. In the changelog. That nobody reads.
#Developer Communication That Works
Turn your API changelog into a podcast via audiclip’s technology:
Weekly changelog podcast: Two hosts discuss what changed, why it changed, and what developers need to do.
- “We deprecated the v2 users endpoint. Migration to v3 requires [X]. Deadline: March 30.”
- “New rate limits take effect next week. The second host asks: What happens if I exceed them?”
- “We added a new webhook event for [Y]. Here’s the use case and how to subscribe.”
#Why Developers Will Listen
- During their commute — the 20 minutes before they start coding is the perfect time to hear about API changes
- Before it breaks — hearing about a deprecation BEFORE it affects production is better than learning from an error log
- Cross-language developer community — your developer docs are in English. Your developers in Tokyo, São Paulo, and Berlin listen in their language. 100+ supported.
#For Developer Relations Teams
DevRel teams spend enormous effort on documentation that developers don’t proactively consume. A podcast adds a PUSH channel — instead of hoping developers visit the changelog, the changelog comes to them.
Include the podcast link in:
- API dashboard
- Developer portal
- SDK release notes
- “What’s new” emails
