Beta onboarding: January 2026

WhatsApp changes break production. We catch them before they do.

ChangelogGuard is the early warning system for teams building on the WhatsApp Business Platform. We track official change signals (changelog, docs, policy, pricing, and status) and send high-signal alerts to tools you already use — Slack, Jira, Email, or Webhook.

No dashboards to babysit. No “page changed” spam. Just updates that can break your integration or your margins.

You’ve seen how this fails in real life.

Updates are scattered across changelogs, docs, policy pages, and pricing tables. The result is always the same: the team finds out late — from a customer, an invoice, or an incident.

Common scenario

Pricing changes that quietly hit margins

Template pricing and category rules shift. If nobody flags it, you discover it in billing — after you’ve already quoted customers or shipped campaigns.

Common scenario

Deprecations that turn into “random” breakage

A version sunset, a field deprecation, or a behavior change lands in a changelog. Someone misses it. Production doesn’t. Now you’re debugging under pressure.

The better scenario

Your team gets the alert before the incident

ChangelogGuard routes breaking changes to engineering, policy updates to product/compliance, and pricing updates to ops/finance — with a clear “what changed” and “what to do next.”

“Why not just subscribe to Meta’s newsletter?”

Because newsletters assume something that doesn’t exist in real teams: perfect attention and perfect follow-through.

What newsletters actually give you

Meta publishes updates across changelogs, docs, policy pages, blogs, and pricing tables. In theory, someone reads them, understands the impact, and acts in time.

In practice, updates get buried, ownership is unclear, and teams discover changes after something breaks.

  • Critical changes mixed with low-impact announcements
  • No indication of severity or urgency
  • No routing — finance, ops, support often never see relevant updates
  • “Is this relevant to us?” becomes tribal knowledge and guesswork

What ChangelogGuard gives you instead

ChangelogGuard treats Meta updates as operational risk, not reading material. We detect changes, classify impact, and notify the people who actually need to act.

  • Only high-impact alerts (Breaking · Policy · Pricing · Process)
  • Severity, ownership, and “what to do next” included
  • Delivered to Slack, Jira, Email, or your own systems
  • Direct link to the official source for verification
Sample alert POLICY / PERMISSIONS
[HIGH] Authentication template creation may be restricted.

Impact: API requests may fail with business not allowed
Next: Check eligibility, update flow, prep customer comms

Newsletters tell you that something changed. ChangelogGuard tells you when it matters — and who needs to act.

How it works

We monitor the signals you don’t have time to babysit.

No dashboards. No “page changed” spam. Just actionable alerts routed to the people who need to act.

The pipeline

Detect → Classify → Route → Verify
Step 1

Detect updates

We watch official sources (changelog, docs, policy, pricing, status) and detect meaningful diffs.

Step 2

Classify & score impact

We tag the change (Breaking · Policy · Pricing · Process), assign severity, and add a clear “what changed” summary.

Step 3

Route to the right team

Send alerts where work happens: Slack, Email, Jira (ticket), or Webhook — so it gets handled, not forgotten.

Step 4

Link to the official source

Every alert includes a direct link to the origin so your team can verify instantly.

Signals we track

Focused on changes that can break integrations, policy, or margins.

High-signal by default

Platform & API

Deprecations, version sunsets, breaking schema changes.

Policy

Permission changes, enforcement shifts, compliance updates.

Pricing

Table changes, category rules, limits that hit margins.

Announcements

Early signals that often preview upcoming breaking changes.

Status

Outages, degraded performance, incident updates for faster triage.

Docs

Silent documentation changes that alter expected behavior.

If you own the integration, you own the surprise. Let’s remove the surprise.

For Technical Product Managers

Get pricing and policy updates routed to you, not buried in dev chatter. Keep margins and plans stable.

For Engineering Leads

Route breaking changes to Slack or auto-create Jira tickets with deadlines so it actually gets done.

For BSPs & ISVs

One platform change can trigger a wave of customer tickets. Get ahead of it, notify clients proactively, and look like the adult in the room.

Sample Alert: High Severity

[BREAKING] Webhook payload field deprecated.

Impact: Parsers relying on this field may fail.
Deadline: Oct 15, 2026
Next step: Update schema + deploy before cutoff.
Ticket created: ENG-492 (P1)

The goal: understand the alert in 10 seconds and act in one click.
