[Question] Is there any way to get access to the auto generated release notes in a subsequent step?

[cjshrader]

I'll share my entire file but the last two steps are the important ones. We generate the release in the second to last step, then post it to discord.

The release notes are auto generated. Is there any way to get access to them after the release is complete so that I can post them to discord as well?
