FetchGithubIssues

This workflow regularly fetches the latest open issues with the "Bug" label from a specified GitHub repository, focusing on critical issues with fewer than 5 comments. It automatically retrieves and filters qualifying issues every 10 minutes, pushing their titles and links in real-time to a designated Telegram user for quick bug monitoring and notifications. This approach helps the development team stay informed about important defects in the project, enhances issue response speed and communication efficiency, and simplifies the manual monitoring process.

FetchGithubIssues

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automatically fetches the latest open issues labeled "Bug" from a specified GitHub repository every 10 minutes. It filters these issues based on the number of comments and pushes the qualifying issue titles and links in real-time to designated Telegram users. This enables fast, automated monitoring and notification of bug-related issues.

Core Problems Addressed

In GitHub project management, development teams need timely updates on the latest bug issues, especially those with fewer comments that have not been sufficiently discussed or addressed. Manual monitoring is time-consuming and prone to oversight. This workflow automates the retrieval and filtering of critical issues and instantly notifies relevant personnel, significantly improving response speed.

Use Cases

  • Automated monitoring of bug issues in GitHub repositories by development teams
  • Real-time bug alerts for product managers or maintenance staff
  • Quick prioritization of defects by DevOps teams
  • Any scenario requiring tracking of GitHub Issues with timely communication

Main Workflow Steps

  1. Scheduled Trigger: The workflow runs every 10 minutes.
  2. Fetch GitHub Issues: Calls the GitHub API to retrieve open issues labeled "Bug" created within the last 30 minutes in the specified repository.
  3. Field Mapping: Extracts key information such as issue title, URL, creation time, and comment count.
  4. Comment Count Filtering: Filters issues with fewer than 5 comments to focus on less-discussed problems.
  5. Send Notification: Sends the filtered issue titles and links via Telegram messages to designated users for real-time alerts.
