Automate Assigning GitHub Issues
This workflow is designed to automate the handling of issues and comments in GitHub repositories. It intelligently determines whether a responsible person needs to be assigned and automatically assigns unassigned issues to appropriate users. It can recognize requests from users who proactively claim tasks, avoiding duplicate assignments and significantly enhancing project management efficiency. Whether in open-source projects or internal enterprise development, this workflow helps accelerate response times, reduce the burden on maintainers, and achieve more efficient team collaboration.

Automate Assigning GitHub Issues
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automates the handling of issues and issue comments within a GitHub repository. It intelligently determines whether an issue requires an assignee and automatically assigns unassigned issues to appropriate users or responds when an issue is already assigned, significantly enhancing project management efficiency. By leveraging regular expressions to detect keywords such as “assign me,” the workflow enables proactive task claiming and automatic assignment, minimizing the need for manual intervention.
Core Problems Addressed
- Eliminates delays caused by unclaimed GitHub issues
- Automatically identifies and assigns users willing to take on tasks, preventing duplicate assignments
- Reduces manual assignment workload for maintainers, improving team collaboration efficiency
Use Cases
- Automatically assigning large volumes of issues to contributors in open source projects
- Automating task assignments in internal enterprise code repositories
- Automatically responding to users proactively claiming tasks in community projects
- Any team using GitHub for issue tracking and collaboration
Main Workflow Steps
- Trigger listens for
issueandissue_commentevents in the specified GitHub repository. - A Switch node determines the event type (issue creation/opening or comment).
- Checks whether the issue already has an assignee and whether the issue or comment contains an “assign me” request.
- If the issue is unassigned and contains a claim request, it automatically assigns the issue to the issue creator or commenter.
- If the issue is already assigned, it automatically replies to the commenter that the issue has been assigned, avoiding duplicate assignments.
- Uses the GitHub API to update the issue’s assignees field and add comments.
Systems or Services Involved
- GitHub (authenticated via OAuth2)
- n8n workflow automation platform
Target Users and Value
- GitHub repository maintainers and project managers seeking to automate task assignments and improve management efficiency
- Open source community administrators aiming for rapid response to contributor claims
- Software development teams looking to automate task distribution and reduce manual intervention
- Teams and individuals who want to enhance the intelligence and convenience of GitHub issue management and collaboration
This workflow makes GitHub task management smarter and more efficient, ensuring every issue is promptly assigned to a responsible party and facilitating smooth project progress.
n8n Workflow Deployer
This workflow implements automated deployment functionality by monitoring a specific folder in Google Drive, automatically downloading and processing JSON files of n8n workflows. After formatting and cleaning, it uses an API to import the workflows into a designated instance and automatically sets tags. Finally, the deployed files are archived into another folder. The entire process requires no manual intervention, significantly enhancing the efficiency of workflow management and deployment, making it suitable for teams that need to manage and update workflows in bulk.
GitLab Merge Request Intelligent Code Review Assistant
This workflow automates the processing of GitLab merge requests, intelligently receiving and reviewing code changes. It leverages advanced language model technology to analyze code differences and provide professional review suggestions, generating scores and decisions of "accept" or "reject." The review results are automatically published to the discussion area of GitLab, helping development teams quickly address issues, improve code quality and collaboration efficiency, alleviate the burden of manual reviews, and standardize review criteria. It is applicable in scenarios such as software development, continuous integration, and open-source project maintenance.
Simple API Endpoint Creation Workflow
This workflow creates a simple API endpoint through a Webhook node, capable of receiving HTTP requests with a name parameter and dynamically generating Google search links as a response. It requires no coding, allowing for the quick setup of a custom query interface, simplifying the complex processes of traditional API development. It is suitable for automation enthusiasts, developers, and educational training scenarios, making it an ideal choice for generating dynamic links.
cheems
This workflow automates the scheduled sending of fun messages and images to a designated Discord channel. It is set to trigger at various frequencies, including every Friday and Saturday at 9 AM, as well as every 30 minutes. This approach effectively enhances community engagement and interaction, reduces the hassle of manual operations, ensures the delivery of interesting content at specific times, boosts user participation, and fosters a positive community atmosphere. It is suitable for community management and teams looking to automate message delivery.
Docker Registry Image Tag Periodic Cleanup Workflow
This workflow automates the management of tags in the Docker image repository by regularly scanning and deleting expired or redundant tags, while retaining only the latest few and the "latest" tag, thereby keeping the repository tidy. After the cleanup, garbage collection is performed, and the operations team is notified of the results via email, with support for failure alerts. This enhances operational efficiency and space utilization, addressing issues of wasted storage resources and management chaos.
Eventbrite Order Status Real-Time Trigger
This workflow automatically captures events such as order creation, updates, and refunds by real-time monitoring of the order status changes in Eventbrite. Once a change occurs, the system immediately triggers subsequent automated actions to ensure timely response and processing of order data. This real-time monitoring mechanism significantly enhances order management efficiency, helping event organizers, marketing teams, and finance departments quickly respond to order dynamics, thereby optimizing customer service and financial processes.
Public Webhook Relay
This workflow receives external POST requests through a public Webhook and automatically forwards them to local processes. It periodically polls for new requests, automatically manages authorization tokens and request statuses, ensuring reliable data transmission. Users can securely receive and process Webhook notifications in a local environment without the need to set up a public server, making it suitable for various scenarios such as development, testing, and data forwarding, significantly improving work efficiency and lowering technical barriers.
Multi-File Download and Merge Example Workflow
This workflow enables the automatic batch download of multiple specified URL files and merges the individual binary file data into a unified data item, simplifying the file processing process. By manually triggering the workflow, users can conveniently download the required resources, avoiding the inefficiencies and error risks associated with downloading files one by one. It is applicable in various scenarios such as marketing, content management, and data analysis, significantly enhancing work efficiency.
