+### Using the tag message as release body
+
+If you have tag messages that you want to use as a release body you can pass them from the workflow with the `release_text` parameter.
+In a tagged push the workflow variable `${{ github.event.commits[0].message }}` contains the tag message therefore your can pass it along like this:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Create GitHub release
+  uses: Roang-zero1/github-create-release-action@v2.3.0
+  with:
+    version_regex: ^v[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+
+    release_text: ${{ github.event.commits[0].message }}
+  env:
+    GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
+```
