 ## Semantic Convention Generation
 
 New versions of the [OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions] mean new versions of the `semconv` package need to be generated.
-The `semconv-generate` make target is used for this.
+This is automatically done each day by CI pipeline [semconv-update.yml](.github/workflows/semconv-update.yml), which opens a PR adding the generated package if it finds an upstream update. You can also trigger the pipeline manually via `workflow_dispatch`.
+
+However you can still use `semconv-generate` make target to generate the package.
 
 1. Set the `TAG` environment variable to the semantic convention tag you want to generate.
 2. Run the `make semconv-generate ...` target from this repository.
